Let it Burn
There’s nothing worth saving in this house here anymore
Emptied out your dresser, threw those pictures on the floor
The sweet smell of gasoline just lingers in the air
I am ready to strike this match because I no longer care

Gonna let it burn
Right down to the floor
Let it burn
I can’t look at it no more
Gonna let it burn
I’m gonna burn this old house down
See those flames shining high from all over town

There’s a note there on the counter where you wrote your last peace
Said you had enough of these mountains, you were moving back east
Well please don’t have a second thought and don’t you turn around
There wouldn’t be a home here standing, I’m gonna burn it to the ground

Gonna let it burn
Right down to the floor
Let it burn
I can’t look at it no more
Gonna let it burn
I’m gonna burn this old house down
See those flames shining high from all over town

There’s a skeleton in the closet
Nightmares tucked in the bed
All those words we promised, I wish we never read
Said there’s nothing worth saving in that house there anyway
Told me to go straight to hell and that’s where I could say

Gonna let it burn
Right down to the floor
Let it burn
I can’t look at it no more
Gonna let it burn
I’m gonna burn this old house down
See those flames shining high as I walk right out of town

Gonna let it burn
Right down to the bone
Let it burn
This house it aint a home
Gonna let it burn
I’m gonna burn this old house down
I can’t stand the sight of it just hanging around
