House on Fire
I was just a little boy
When my mum said "It's ok to cry"
She held me tight, in her arms
Never knew she wouldn't be there one night
Now someone's screamin', yelling 'cause I made a mistake
Father I already know
But it wasn't you who showed up at the back gate
As I thought "Let's run away from home"
I breathe in, close my eyes
To the sounds that play
Walls are talking, yelling through the night
It's always been this way
Mumma's cryin' out her heart and
Daddy wasn't listenin' from the start
I guess that's what it's like
Living in a house on fire
I still remember that summer
The dogs were the only thing that kept me alive
(And out of heaven's waiting line)
Twelve and alone, that was a bummer
I still wonder if they'd send flowers when I died
(They would've been sorry, but so would I)
I breathe in, close my eyes
To the sounds that play
Walls are talking, yelling through the night
It's always been this way
Mumma's cryin' out her heart and
Daddy wasn't listenin' from the start
I guess that's what it's like
Living in a house on fire
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ra-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ra-ra-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ra-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ra-ra-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ra-ba
Ba-ba-ra-ba-ba-ba-ra-ba
I guess that's what it's like (Ba-ba-ba-ba-ra-ba)
Living in a house on fire (Ba-ba-ra-ra-ra-ba-ba)
I know that's what it's like
Living in a house on fire
I know that's what it's like
Living in a house on fire
These scars run deep
They're part of my history
Time can't heal scars to the
Heart
So they're a part of me
Every single day I breathe
They'll be carried with me
To the graveyard
When my mum said "It's ok to cry"
She held me tight, in her arms
Never knew she wouldn't be there one night
Now someone's screamin', yelling 'cause I made a mistake
Father I already know
But it wasn't you who showed up at the back gate
As I thought "Let's run away from home"
I breathe in, close my eyes
To the sounds that play
Walls are talking, yelling through the night
It's always been this way
Mumma's cryin' out her heart and
Daddy wasn't listenin' from the start
I guess that's what it's like
Living in a house on fire
I still remember that summer
The dogs were the only thing that kept me alive
(And out of heaven's waiting line)
Twelve and alone, that was a bummer
I still wonder if they'd send flowers when I died
(They would've been sorry, but so would I)
I breathe in, close my eyes
To the sounds that play
Walls are talking, yelling through the night
It's always been this way
Mumma's cryin' out her heart and
Daddy wasn't listenin' from the start
I guess that's what it's like
Living in a house on fire
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ra-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ra-ra-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ra-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ra-ra-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ra-ba
Ba-ba-ra-ba-ba-ba-ra-ba
I guess that's what it's like (Ba-ba-ba-ba-ra-ba)
Living in a house on fire (Ba-ba-ra-ra-ra-ba-ba)
I know that's what it's like
Living in a house on fire
I know that's what it's like
Living in a house on fire
These scars run deep
They're part of my history
Time can't heal scars to the
Heart
So they're a part of me
Every single day I breathe
They'll be carried with me
To the graveyard
