Burn Your Own House Down

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
