Burn Your Own House Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why do I bother, that's what you say
And I know you're tired but don't fade away
It's been a long year, it's been a long day
You can't remember when it was not that way
When everything was okay
But I'm not gonna let you burn your own house down
I know you don't like living in it now
The halls are empty and the walls are bare
But I believe you, you're gonna find your love in there
Your door was open and your love left
Now all that you want is to burn the rest
But if your heart is open some love will come back
I know you don't believe me, I can see you light a match
I can see you light a match
But I'm not gonna let you burn your own house down
I know you don't like living in it now
The halls are empty and the walls are bare
But I believe you, you're gonna find your love in there
I'm not trying to say you got no right to complain at all
What I'm saying is I believe in you and I will not believe
That everything is lost
Get up on the roof and look around
Get up on the roof and look around
Get up on the roof and look around
I'm not gonna let you burn your own house down
I know you don't like living in it now
The halls are empty and the walls are bare
But I believe you, I believe you, I believe you
You're gonna find your love in there
