Burning Down Lyrics

I guess you never know
Someone you think you know
Can’t see the knife when you’re too close, too close
It scars forever when
Someone you called a friend
Shows you the truth can be so cold, so cold

I wiped the dirt off your name
With the shirt off my back
I thought that you’d do the same
But you didn’t do that
(Yeah)

Said I’m the one who’s wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed ’em lies for dinner
You knew the house was burning down
And look at you now

(And look at you now)

How do you sleep at night?
No one to hide behind
Betrayed every alibi you had, you had, you had
Every chance to make amends
‘Stead you got drunk on bitterness and you
Still claim that you’re innocent
It’s sad

That you said I’m the one who’s wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed ’em lies for dinner
You knew the house was burning down
(And look at you now)

Used to tell you’d pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls

Used to tell you’d pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
And you

Said I’m the one who’s wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed ’em lies for dinner
You knew the house was burning down

Used to tell you’d pray for me (Pray for me)
You were praying for my downfall (For my downfall)
You were digging a grave for me (For me)
We were sharing the same four walls

Used to tell you’d pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
And you
