You Were A House On Fire

And you were a house on fire, and I couldn't understand why
 Burn me all down to the ground, you said, the fire is on the inside
 Flames dancing like ghosts, behind the windows
 Pain jumping from the walls
 You want to keep this private, I can see that
 But you can't ask that of me, we've only just met
 I said we need hope now more than ever before, do you believe it?
 The answer was silence, I'll take it as a no
 We all wanna be normal anyways
 We all wanna be somewhere else, somewhere we live
 But that's not reality, it's just point of view
 Let's not talk about the weather
 Whether or not there's really rain, the clouds
 Unless you just wanna know if I feel the same as you
 It's more measuring up than just wasting time
 But time is not on our side, you're burning
 Rain would only be a temporary fix
 And there's just no place right now for cute ironies
 Like that anymore, your house is on fire
 ♪
 We all write songs about life, we just sing them different
 You sing the words, but you don't know the song
 And you expect us all to sing along, how selfish
 The lengths that we go to, to put so much distance between us is staggering
 You're burning alive with stress and life
 Both hands in flames trying to hold the fire inside
 Drop and roll, repeat line for emphasis
 I'll repeat it and repeat it until you believe it
 You're gonna be okay, say it to me
 The answer is still silence, I'll take it as a maybe
 I can't decide if I should knock down your door or on it
 Say the word, and I'll take an axe to your heart or a pin prick
 Cut right through the dark, let it spill out the contents
 On our knees sorting through the remnants
 Pour out your hate in my hands, I'll let 'em slip through my fingers
 And this is for all of us, This is for the times that we only listen long enough
 To know the other person we're talking to has the same opinions we do
 For when we're burning inside, for when we're trying to hide that fact
 This is for the scalps that we went after, to be only the best dressed
 To add another notch on our belts, put another feather to our headdress
 Well, I wanna be the bigger man for you, but I can't take, all is true
 I'm trying to kick the habit here, but these track marks are a hundred proof
 "Burn me all down to the ground," you said
 Or I'll kick through your ashes, hope they sober up my head
