No, I couldn't for all the lies that you would spread to come back around.
And they say that you reap what you sow and all your fields have overgrown for
too long.
(Sure, you tried, and)

No, oh no,
You're not the one to bring this down.
It could've been, it should've been more.
(But these scars can't be shallow)

You couldn't wait to see the moment that I came in crawling back for more.
And when the push comes to shove, you know, I've never been the one to back
down.
(Sure, you tried, and)

No, oh no,
You're not the one to bring this down.
It could've been, it should've been more.
(And the war's never over)

I can't believe that this is happening.
It was only a spark, and now we're engulfed in flames.

As the mercury rises, why bother denying?
You're kerosene, and I'm the funeral pyre.

Life burns, oh, burns, burns, burns.
So light the way and take the pain.

OH!

All these sticks and these stones are about to break our bones.
But it's too late to make way.

Let those hit the ground, blank hard face
With the mad rush of haze
She just can't get it through her skull.

We're insane.
It was only a spark, and now we're engulfed in flames.

As the mercury rises, why bother denying?
You're kerosene, and I'm the funeral pyre.

Life burns, oh, burns, burns, burns.
So light the way and take the pain
