Woke up early this mornin'
To a thunder and rainstorm
Last night I forgot to close
My windows
My home's been broken
And my heart has been blown wide open
I don't wanna feel angry
I don't wanna feel empty
I don't want no sympathy
Who am I to blame?
What can I say? I'll never learn
Going down in flames
Walk away, watch me burn
Walk away, watch me burn
I was thinking 'bout my place in the universe
Looking at the Earth's curve
How much my little heart can hurt
Some people got a lot of nerve
I'm not afraid
No, I never been afraid of failure
I'm not afraid of global warmin'
Or the market crashin'
Or the terrorists attackin'
Who am I to blame?
What can I say? I will never learn
I'm goin' down in flames
Walk away, watch me burn
Walk away, watch me burn
I swam in the ocean in the night
Under the stars it's so clear
My pale body bouncin' in the waves
I felt I could disappear, I'm still here, yes, I am
Who am I to blame?
What can I say? I will never learn
I'm goin' down in flames
Walk away, watch me burn
Walk away, watch me burn
Walk away, watch me burn
