Kimberly Perry and The Band Perry - Burn the House Down

Leave the pictures in the frames on the walls
Leave the ghost of you and me in the halls
Leave the TV on in the living room, ah
Let the memories disappear in the smoke
Deep breath, let 'em go even if I choke
I know I'll be breathing easy soon

I'm watching the flame do what it does
I'm watching a name turn into dust
I'm pourin' gasoline on a king-sized mattress
Light it up with some dive bar matches
As hot as it is right now
You can't rise from the ashes 'til you burn the house down

Looks good from the outside looking in
Felt more like lying though, living it
Scared to make a move, I'm scared to make a mess, ah
You can't stitch up this kind of broken heart
Open eyes can't go back into the dark
I can't live a new life with the same address

I'm watching the flame do what it does
I'm watching a name turn into dust
I'm pourin' gasoline on a king-sized mattress
Light it up with some dive bar matches
As hot as it is right now
You can't rise from the ashes 'til you burn the house down

Until you burn the house down
Until you burn the house down
Until you burn the house down

From the ceiling to the floor
From the back porch to the front door
Little bit stronger, little bit older
No one tells you how to start over

I'm watching the flame do what it does
I'm watching a name turn into dust
I'm pourin' gasoline on a king-sized mattress
Light it up with some dive bar matches
As hot as it is right now
You can't rise from the ashes 'til you burn the house down
Ah, I can't rise from the ashes 'til I burn the house down
