Lyrics
There's a noise you get to know when you live alone
The deafening silence of the telephone
I thought I was done with those days, when I fell for you
But somehow this house feels emptier now
With you in the room
So I'm gonna put my tears like gasoline
And I'm gonna burn us down in effigy
Build a fire, pile it high with your memory and my pride
Bring a bottle, strike the matches
And let it burn down to ashes.
I remember a time before our love ran cold.
Those nights with the lights up, and the shades down,
"Like A Wrecking Ball" on the radio.
You loved me like the devil with an angels touch
But now our flame burns weak, and we barely speak
And, honey, I've had enough
So I'm gonna put my tears like gasoline
And I'm gonna burn us down in effigy
Build a fire, pile it high with your memory and my pride
Bring a bottle, strike the matches
And let it burn down to ashes.
