Grand Theft Aughta

Ninety degrees on a Monday morning
The casket is lowered into the ground
The death of everything you treasured
You watch the door slam without making a sound

Burn it to the ground
Burn it to the ground
Burn it to the ground - yeah
Burn it to the ground

You see what you thought was the straight and narrow
Was just the white lines blurring as one
You don't know if you could find a reason - yeah
But deep in your head it is already gone

And I stole the only thing that mattered - mattered
You gave it away just like you wanted to - yeah
You sure didn't need any convincing - yeah
But you gotta do what you gotta do

You watched yourself die early Saturday morning
Turned the lights off so you couldn't watch the fall
But I'm not the one who pulled the trigger
I think ya need someone and something to blame after all

And I stole the only thing that mattered - mattered
You gave it away just like you wanted to - yeah
You sure didn't need any convincing - yeah
But you gotta do what you gotta do - yeah

Since when do I make all your decisions
Regret, sorry, didn't know that you'd had these feelings
I just did what I thought, we both said we wanted to do
You said then, you"loved it", and I said that I loved you
Maybe it's okay 'cause we were merely children
But that don't mean that what I did was stealing
You can't see growing up is holding yourself to your actions
