Abigail Neilson - Burn It Down

This is how it started
Kaleidoscope departed 
Into several pieces that won't re-attach 
You appeared to me whole hearted
You knew that I was guarded
But I trusted you without thinking twice
I knew one day it'd end
As I took your hand 
But I wanted to be wrong
Oh I did everything you said 
I'm thrown into the fire 
I'm trying to break the lighter 
But it's burning and I can't put out the spark 
You hold all the matches
You left me in ashes oh you created
Now I see just who you are 
I convinced myself to love someone I never knew 
As I look a little closer no longer shades of blue 
So go ahead and wear your crown 
Oh I don't feel the magic now 
When I changed
You stayed the same 
It's fine by me 
Go and build your paper town 
Oh I will watch you burn it down
Burn the memories 
Better you than me 
In time you'll see
The fire wont end with me
It burns but I'm still standing 
The fire was so demanding 
But the sunset after the war enchants my eyes 
Crimson red paints the sky 
Colliding with amber light
Embers that once lit replaced by gold 
The smoke is clearing up inside my soul 
The kaleidoscope is mending
Oh it's almost whole 
So go ahead and wear your crown 
Oh I don't feel the magic now 
When I changed
You stayed the same 
It's fine by me 
Go and build your paper town 
Oh I will watch you burn it down
Burn the memories 
Better you than me 
In time you'll see
Just so you know I wont live with any regrets
Thanks to you I've found who I am
Go ahead and wear your crown 
Oh I don't feel the magic now 
When I changed
You stayed the same 
It's fine by me 
Go and build your paper town 
Oh I will watch you burn it down
Burn the memories 
Better you than me 
In time you'll see
Burn the memories 
Better you than me 
In time you'll see
The fire wont end with me
