Burnt Down House

I always knew you would end up trouble They all warned me that she leads a double life It all came down, then I watched it crumble Our house burnt down tonight There's ghosts in the ashes, where we used to live A shimmering glory that's lost in the world I will carry you until I forgive that Our house burnt down tonight Our house burnt down tonight And memories light up the sky We watched the world ignite Right under our feet You brought a fire into these walls That kind of heat I'd never felt before I started running when I should have crawled Our house burnt down tonight Why so cold, my black hearted mistress? When all you own has never lived with us It's locked away in a personal prison Our house burnt down tonight Our house burnt down tonight And memories light up the sky We watched the world ignite Right under our feet Our house burnt down tonight And as the fireworks slowly died The notes of a melody Play out our song black and white Our house burnt down tonight And I see you stuck inside Wasting no tears and that's why my dear You never let go of your pride Our house burnt down tonight And as the fire slowly dies It's a weight off my shoulders In a moment I'll be alright It's a weight off my shoulders In a moment I'll be alright
