Burn Lyrics by Cortéz

B.E.D. - EP

2017

[Verse 1]
Distance
Waiting outside your house for an explanation
But I never got it
Commitment
The promises we made never existed
Oh, this is not a friendship
But we lived in this house that's not a home
And I picked up the pieces on my own
And you left me with memories all alone
Now our house is on fire and you don't even know

[Pre-Chorus]
Burned down slowly
Burned down slowly
Burned down slowly
Burned...
Burned down slowly

[Verse 2]
I'm a lightweight
And everything you do tends to affect me
But there's no longer two of us in this dream
Was I the one to blame? Did you even love me?
Cause this love is smoking
But we lived in this house that's not a home
And I picked up our pieces on my own
And you hate that you left me all alone
Now the both of us are tired but we don't let it show

[Pre-Chorus]
Burned down slowly
Burned down slowly
Burned down slowly
Burned...
Burned down slowly

[Chorus]
I hate what we've become, it's tearing us apart
Drifting under the sun, we're falling from the stars, yeah
Baby, I can't deny you're not the only one
Cause I burned this house with you to spare us all the heartache
Spare us all the heartache
Cause I burned this house with you to spare us all the heartbreak

[Bridge]
Burned it
You lived in a house and was never around
So you burned it
I lived in this house but neglected my vows
Now it's burning
We moved in this house and never thought about
How we'd burn it
Now it's burning

[Chorus]
I hate what we've become, it's tearing us apart
Drifting under the sun, we're falling from the stars, yeah
Baby, I can't deny you're not the only one
Cause I burned this house with you to spare us all the heartache
Spare us all the heartache
Spare us all the heartache
Cause I burned this house with you to spare us all the heartbreak

[Outro]
Distance
Waiting outside your house for an explanation
I still never got it
Commitment
The promises we made never existed
Oh, this is not a friendship
