House on Fire - Ty Herndon

I didn't build this place

I didn't get to pick where the trees were planted

And the bricks were paved

I didn't sink the post

Or hang the wire around this hell I'm in

And there's no escape

And nothing's safe

When you're a prisoner

To everything

I couldn't run away from my reflection

Smoke and mirrors in both directions

Empty memories on every wall

Burn the hurt to the ground just take it all

I poured the gas

I lit the match

Didn't grab a d*mn thing on my way out

But I stopped

And watched as the flames grew higher

To my house on fire

I still replay those words

Only ten years old and hate is what I heard

From that loving church

And there's no salvation

On the road you're takin'

And a kid like you

Ain't worth saving

I couldn't run away from my reflection

Smoke and mirrors in both directions

Empty memories on every wall

Burn the hurt to the ground just take it all

I poured the gas

I lit the match

Didn't grab a d*mn thing on my way out

But I stopped

And watched as the flames grew higher

To my house on fire

Too fragile to be strong

And so afraid to be wrong

Oooaaaah woooaah

I couldn't run away from my reflection

Smoke and mirrors in both directions

Empty memories on every wall

Burn the hurt to the ground just take it all

I poured the gas

I lit the match

Didn't grab a d*mn thing on my way out

But I stopped

And watched as the flames grew higher

Higher

Higher

To my house on fire

Fire fire

Fire fire

Fire

Fire

Fire
