"City On Fire" lyrics

"City On Fire"

So I couldn't just go
Leave this city on fire

Last time looked in your eyes
Saw your face change
What were you thinking?

Last night wasn't enough
Thought I knew what you wanted

Painful things
Far from real
You're all that I wanted

You and I will burn this down
You and I next time around
You and I will burn this down
You and I must turn around

Can't sleep burning inside
Will I suffer in violence?
Broken smile
I lie here just waiting to hold you

You and I will burn this down
You and I must turn around
You and I will burn this down
You and I must turn around

You and I will burn this down
You and I must turn around
You and I will burn this down
You and I must turn around
