Thinking in reverse

This old house is burning down
in a blaze of gasoline
You've been writing out your suicide notes
since you were thirteen
And you say that you're sorting
through the feelings that you have
And you're sort of feeling nothing
well that's all I ever had

And somewhere far away from here
I won't be the one to tell you
when you finally face your fears
that everything is alright, darling
and everything is alright

In my I arms I hold myself
cause everyone else is asleep
I've been watching you breathe in and out
you breathe so desperately
And the sky falls like hellfire
on the roof above our heads
You've been wishing I'd just leave you alone
while wishing you were dead

And somewhere far away from here
I won't be the one to tell you
when you finally face your fears
that everything is alright, darling
that everything is alright

Cause this old house is burning down
in a blaze of gasoline
You've been writing out your suicide notes
since you were thirteen
