I guess you never know
Someone you think you know
Can’t see the knife when you’re too close
Too close
Trust cuts deeper than lies
Even as the days go by
The wounds remain beneath my skin
My skin
I wiped the dirt off your name
With the shirt off my back
I thought that you’d do the same
But you didn’t do that
Said I’m the one who’s wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed ’em lies for dinner
You knew the house was burning down
And look at you now
And look at you now
Oh, was it all a game?
Look what our love became
I gave you everything I had
I had
You had every chance to make amends
‘Stead you got drunk on bitterness
And you still claim you’re innocent
It’s sad
But you
Said I’m the one who’s wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed ’em lies for dinner
You knew the house was burning down
And look at you now
Used to tell me you’d pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
Used to tell me you’d pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
And you
Said I’m the one who’s wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed ’em lies for dinner
You knew the house was burning down
Used to tell me you’d pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
Used to tell me you’d pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
And you
