Burning me down, I don't know how
I'm over my head, over my head
It's a mistake, you should have stayed
I'm over the edge, over the edge
And you're standing looking down at the flames
Do you like watching me cry over again?
You set a fire when you left
See the ashes all around
Feel your smoke in my lungs
And I choke without a sound
Fall on me now, fall on me now
You set a fire when you left
And I'm burning to the ground
Burning down
Burning down
Turn into dust, blowing away
Everything I ever meant to you
Disappears, you're not even here
You got a ghost, it's not letting go
There's no place for me to run, you took it all
Are you proud of what you've done, watching me crawl?
You set a fire when you left
See the ashes all around
Feel your smoke in my lungs
And I choke without a sound
Fall on me now, fall on me now
You set a fire when you left
And I'm burning to the ground
Burning down
Burning down
So I'm piece by piece
You fade, you leave
Give up, and strike
Of lies and watched it burn me
You set a fire when you left
See the ashes all around
Feel your smoke in my lungs
And I choke without a sound
Fall on me now, fall on me now
You set a fire when you left
See the ashes all around
Feel your smoke in my lungs
And I choke without a sound
Fall on me now, fall on me now
You set a fire when you left
And I'm burning to the ground
Burning down
Burning down
