Burn This Paper Down (النسخة 2)

Verse 1

There's a notebook in my glovebox, corners soft as bread

Every page a thing I meant to say to you instead

Coffee rings and crooked margins, written after dark

A hundred pages full of kindling, waiting for a spark

Pre-Chorus

And I thought that I could hide it

Keep it dry and keep it quiet

Chorus

So I'll burn this paper down

Watch it curl and hit the ground

Every word I never said

Going up in red

Burn this paper down

(Burn it down, burn it down)

Verse 2

You're sitting on the porch step with your shoes beside the door

I don't need the pages now, I've read them all before

I flick the lighter, let it catch, and then I say it out

The paper's only smoke now, the fire's in my mouth

Pre-Chorus

And I'm done with keeping quiet

Let the whole street hear me try it

Chorus

So I'll burn this paper down

Watch it curl and hit the ground

Every word I never said

Going up in red

Burn this paper down

(Burn it down, burn it down)

Bridge – soft, building

Don't go sifting through the ashes

There is nothing left to read

Every line worth keeping

You can hear it now from me

Final Chorus

So I'll burn this paper down

Watch it curl and hit the ground

Every word I never said

Going up in red

Burn this paper down

(Burn it down, burn it down)

Outro

Burn this paper down

Every word out loud
