Lyrics to Burn Down This Room
You think I like to play the victim
Say that it's clear in how I speak
Like it's some kind of competition
Of who hurts the most of you and me
What if for once you try to listen?
You know it's really not that deep
Or carry on with the partition
But drown your dignity in the sea
So leave me here abandoned and stranded
As if that's gonna do
Yeah, leave me empty-handed in Band-aids
The best that you can do
Just set it all on fire and burn down this room
And strip my being to the wires
And I'll learn to carry it through
But in any kind of way, I'll make it clear for you
I'm not leaving quiet, baby
So burn down this room
Which one of us can scream the loudest?
So many careless things to say
And every word, we will devour
It's like there is no better way
I swear there's something in the water
And now it's running in our veins
Because it keeps on getting harder
Since you're not ever gonna change
Just set it all on fire and burn down this room
Strip my being to the wires
And I'll learn to carry it through (Oh, oh)
But any in kind of way, I'll make it clear for you
I'm not leaving quiet, baby
So burn down this room
Burn down this room, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Burn down this room, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
So leave me here abandoned and stranded
As if that's gonna do
Yeah, leave me empty-handed in Band-aids
The best that you can do
Just set it all on fire and burn down this room
And strip my being to the wires
And I'll learn to carry it through
But in any kind of way
I'll make it clear for you (I'll make it clear for you)
I'm not leaving quiet, baby
So burn down this room
Burn down this room, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Burn down this room, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Burn down this room
Burn down this room, ooh, ooh, ooh
Burn down this room
Burn down this room
Say that it's clear in how I speak
Like it's some kind of competition
Of who hurts the most of you and me
What if for once you try to listen?
You know it's really not that deep
Or carry on with the partition
But drown your dignity in the sea
So leave me here abandoned and stranded
As if that's gonna do
Yeah, leave me empty-handed in Band-aids
The best that you can do
Just set it all on fire and burn down this room
And strip my being to the wires
And I'll learn to carry it through
But in any kind of way, I'll make it clear for you
I'm not leaving quiet, baby
So burn down this room
Which one of us can scream the loudest?
So many careless things to say
And every word, we will devour
It's like there is no better way
I swear there's something in the water
And now it's running in our veins
Because it keeps on getting harder
Since you're not ever gonna change
Just set it all on fire and burn down this room
Strip my being to the wires
And I'll learn to carry it through (Oh, oh)
But any in kind of way, I'll make it clear for you
I'm not leaving quiet, baby
So burn down this room
Burn down this room, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Burn down this room, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
So leave me here abandoned and stranded
As if that's gonna do
Yeah, leave me empty-handed in Band-aids
The best that you can do
Just set it all on fire and burn down this room
And strip my being to the wires
And I'll learn to carry it through
But in any kind of way
I'll make it clear for you (I'll make it clear for you)
I'm not leaving quiet, baby
So burn down this room
Burn down this room, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Burn down this room, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Burn down this room
Burn down this room, ooh, ooh, ooh
Burn down this room
Burn down this room
