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 waved goodbye
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
