Burn it down before it burns me (versione 2)

Verse

Paper sign on the kitchen door

Momma's pen still holding last summer's score

Creek bed rusted but it remembers my name

Every branch a chapter I ain't written yet in flames

I keep the matchbook from that first small spark

Folded soft like something I don't have to start

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when the fire finds its own pace

Tell me how to let it take this place

Chorus

Burn it down before it burns me clean

Watch the whole thing catch before it bleeds

Something beautiful only happens when you lose control

So I'm holding steady on the edge of this old soul

Verse 2

Trunk still full of winter coats and memories

Stacked like stories I don't need to keep

Grandfather's pocket watch is ticking in my hand

Every tick a reminder not to understand

This town got tired the same way houses do

But something about it still wants me, too

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when the fire finds its own pace

Tell me how to let it take this place

Chorus

Burn it down before it burns me clean

Watch the whole thing catch before it bleeds

Something beautiful only happens when you lose control

So I'm holding steady on the edge of this old soul

Bridge

Not every ending gets a second chance

But maybe that's just how I learn to dance

If fire don't take it all, something else will

I'd rather light one small thing for myself still

Chorus

Burn it down before it burns me clean

Watch the whole thing catch before it bleeds

Something beautiful only happens when you lose control

So I'm holding steady on the edge of this old soul
