"Burn It Down" lyrics

"Burn It Down"

I'll burn it down and build it up better
Sometimes it hurts to forget the past

And I'm tired of waiting for something to happen with you
And I'm trying to save it but deep down there's nowhere to move
And I'm getting lost, soaked to the bones
With nothing to prove
I'm covered in hope, I'm filling with doubt
That I'm not for you, no, I'm not for you

So, why burn it down to build it up better?
Sometimes it hurts to forget the past
I'll burn it down and bring it back stronger
Sometimes it's screwed to forget the past

And I'm taking your words, my heart in the palm of your hands
And I'm putting my trust in an entire half-empty glass
And I'm getting tired of making excuses to find it won't last
I'm covered in hope and filling with doubt
That I'm not the last, no, I'm not the last

So, why burn it down to build it up better?
Sometimes it hurts to forget the past
I'll burn it down and bring it back stronger
Sometimes it's screwed to forget the past
