"Burn Your Life Down" lyrics

"Burn Your Life Down"
(originally by Tegan and Sara)

Tell me that you know another way to get it done
It's not me or how I would be but it's a different situation, a different situation

You lay awake in the night, just staring at the ceiling above
Pulling pieces of it out is such a waste of time
You'll keep on fighting to remember that nothing is lost in the end
Until you burn, burn, burn your life down
Go on and burn, burn, burn your life down

Get me to the door
Out of bed, on the track
I'm not sure about starting over
But it's a different situation, a different situation, for me

You wake up in the night and refuse to be afraid of it now
Unfolding pieces of it faster, don't you waste all your precious time
And you've been planning to remember this
So nothing will be lost in the end
But then you burn, burn, burn your life down
Then you burn, burn, burn your life down

And if I break my heart around this
I break my heart around this
I break my heart around this...
And if I break my heart around this
I break my heart around this
If I break my heart around this...
