We're always moving backwards
Every day is the same story
The match we lit is glowing still
And I'm the one who's guilty 'cause
When the house starts blazing
And it all goes down in flames
I let it burn
I let it burn
♪
This home is not so happy anymore
And I promised that it would be
I'm so sorry
♪
All we have is ashes
Of what we used to be
I thought that I put water on the fire
Turns out it was gasoline
♪
And it's okay that things will never be the same again
We'll play pretend
'Cause that is what we're good at anyway
And then we'll watch it happen like we never saw it coming
And the only thing we'll do is let it burn
We'll let it burn
We'll let it burn
Oh-oh-oh
We'll let it burn
