Burning Down Lyrics by Alex Warren & Joe Jonas
[Verse 1: Alex Warren, Joe Jonas]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Alex Warren, Joe Jonas]
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, yeah
[Chorus: Both, Alex Warren]
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 knеw the house was burning down
And look at you now
And look at you now
[Verse 2: Joe Jonas, Both, Alex Warren]
Oh, was it all a game?
Look what our lovе became
I gave you everything I had, I had
You had every chance to make amends (Every chance now)
You got drunk on bitterness (Bitterness)
And you still claim that you're innocent
It's sad
But you
[Chorus: Both, Alex Warren]
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
[Bridge: Joe Jonas, Both]
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
[Chorus: Alex Warren, Joe Jonas, Both]
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 (Oh)
And fed 'em lies for dinner
You knew the house was burning down
[Outro: Both, Joe Jonas]
Used to tell me you'd pray for me (Down)
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls (Walls)
Used to tell me you'd pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me (For me)
We were sharing the same four walls
And you
