"Little Fires" lyrics

I just don't understand the bitter seed inside your brain
They try to hold you, but you cut them when they pull you in
You take in love, and then you push all of the love away
Are you hurting now?

The wind is howling like the wolves that wait outside the door
I've gotten used to them but you're supposed to be my blood
And when you come to crash we never seem to see the wave
But we feel it coming

And I know, I know, I know
You'll keep a part of me forever
But you know, you know, you know
I'm not afraid to go without

And I don't wait around
No, I don't wait for you now
I built the rooms of this house
To stand ground

I hate how I can't understand the way I am with you
It's complicated but the more I saw the less I knew
You're an illusion, you're a shadow, then you're crystal-clear
Until I disappear

You run with gasoline trying to resurrect a flame
I feel like I'm stuck in some pseudo-hedonistic game
You hold the matches and somehow I end up with the blame
Do you just want to burn and burn and burn

And I know, I know, I know
You'll keep a part of me forever
But you know, you know, you know
I'm not afraid to go without

And I don't wait around
No, I don't wait for you now
I built the rooms of this house
To stand ground

And I know, I know, I know
You'll keep a part of me forever
But you know, you know, you know
I'm not afraid to go without

But I don't wait around
No, I don't wait for you now
I built the rooms of this house
To stand ground

And you were young and beautiful
And I was dumb and beautiful
And in the end we all burned little fires

In the end we all burned little fires
In the end we all burned little fires
In the end we all burned little fires
