City's Burning

There's something in the air
There's something in the water (something in the water)
Eyes got a different stare
Different than last I saw you
You know this life ain't fair (this life ain't fair)
Somebody should've told you (somebody should've told you)
But you never seem to care
'Bout nothing at all

Blame it on your mama, blame it on your daddy too, yeah
'Cause they didn't make a ruler out of you
And I blame it on your uncles, blame it on your nanny too, ooh
They failed to raise a king out of you, yeah
I can't believe I made amends, gave you my all, you gave me less
I was in love or just naive, how come I fall for foolish men?
I made you up for you to be something you're not, you'll never be
But not today, kiss you goodnight

I let the bridges burn (I let them burn, burn, burn)
I let the bridges burn (I let them burn, burn, burn)
I let the bridges burn (let them, let them burn)

Yeah, I don't think you ever thought I
Had it in me to turn my back on you
Planned it all the way through, acquaint you with my vicious
Roses can be cruel, my thorn's coming through
You're scared to face the truth as I pull it up on you
You beg me, "Think it through," not here to bring good news
As I tell you, tell you, tell you, tell you

You should be here (you should feel the fire)
Feel what's causing the fire
And I've been the cigarette you'd toss on the pile
And I've only wanted peace of mind with you
Conceive tonight with you, share your last name with you
I pray that the bridges gon' (fall), yeah
Yes, I should've left that message, baby, uh

As your world starts burning
Mines about to start, yeah
As your world starts burning, babe
Turning, babe, burning, babe, turning, babe

I told you not to mess with me
