Told me you called up
Called up all my friends
Said I’m a liability
Why did you push me out dragging
my name around
God the audacity
And they’ve only heard
your side of the story
Guess the jokes on me
Cause when I was down
Your silence was so loud
So much louder than the praise
that left your mouth
And when I was down
You pushed me in the ground
So much deeper so I couldn’t get out
Setting a fire to this whole city
that we built
Watching the homes we filled
with dreams burn to the ground
I gave it my all
But you let it fall
Leaving our photos hung up
on the walls
Setting a fire to this whole
city that we, city that we built
Why are the alarms only going off now
This constant ringing is
the only sound I hear
Swimming through smoke
I can’t see my hands
While I’m trying to grab anything I can
Cause when I was down
Your silence was so loud
So much louder than the praise
that left your mouth
(praise that left your mouth)
Setting a fire to this whole city
that we built
Watching the homes we filled
with dreams burn to the ground
I gave it my all
But you let it fall
Leaving our photos hung up
on the walls
Setting a fire to this whole city that we,
city that we built
Honestly I’m impressed
You got everybody else to believe you
They didn’t even second guess
All the lies that could never
even be true
And you’re just so obsessed
Gotta be sure everybody hears you
Making a mess, is you at your best
Then there is me
without you
Setting a fire to this whole city
that we built
Watching the homes we filled
with dreams burn to the ground
I gave it my all
But you let it fall
Leaving our photos hung up
on the walls
Setting a fire to this whole city
that we built
Setting a fire to this whole city
that we built
Watching the homes we filled
with dreams burn to the ground
I gave it my all
But you let it fall
Leaving our ghosts to wonder the halls
Setting a fire to this whole city that we,
city that we built
Setting a fire
To the whole damn city
