Post 268: You Burn it Down (8/29/09)

You Burn it Down (5/22/09 c, 8/29/09 w)

You spend your time building mansions

Mansions in your mind
But whenever they’re almost complete
It all falls apart, it all falls apart

You burn it down, you burn it down

The love you think that you’ve found
When you feel you’re in too deep
When you find a love that you should keep
You burn it, you burn it down
You burn it, you burn it down

Even when you’re just a day away

A day away from the rest of your life
You won’t let it win
You don’t want to begin
Though you’re always so close

You burn it down, you burn it down

The love you think that you’ve found
When you feel you’re in too deep
When you find a love that you should keep
You burn it, you burn it down
You burn it, you burn it down

Your loneliness will always have a home

Because you can’t, you can’t let anyone in
And when it get so close that you can feel it going away
You won’t let it win
You won’t let love in, you won’t let him in

You burn it down, you burn it down

The love you think that you’ve found
When you feel you’re in too deep
When you find a love that you should keep
You burn it, you burn it down
You burn it, you burn it down
