Burn It Down Songtext
von Remove the Veil

They found me out
I have to leave, there′s no time left to say goodbye
Don't worry, dear, I′ll be back soon, no need to cry

They found me out
And when I drove away and saw her in that dress
I thought my heart would break as it pounded in my chest
I headed for the hills and there I ditched the truck
If such a wretch held me then I would be in luck

I hope I make it out alive
'Cause tonight might end my life
I hope I make it out alive

I burned the house down to watch the flames


And there I sat against the wall, twelve gauge in hand
I had a scheme, I had a plot, I had a dream, I had a plan
But then the lead shattered, sending pieces to the floor
I laid there still and waited, there he entered through the door
I heard the doors that met but still he had outspotted me
How will I make it out, I sat and pondered silently
I questioned reason, doubted answers in my mind
And who would die that night in the Appalachian Pines

I hope I make it out alive
'Cause tonight might end my life
I hope I make it out alive

I burned the house down to watch the flames

He saw me crouching there and shot
I felt the heat and saw the bullets streak white-hot
But then I heard another shot
But then I heard another shot

I burned this house
I burned it down
I burned this house down to watch the flames
And I would do it all again
I burned this house down to watch the flames
Just to watch the flames

I hope I make it out alive
I hope I make it out alive
Make it out alive
Make it out alive
