If I built this house of straw
And I built it strong and built it tall
Would you lie here next to me and just believe that this house won’t fall?
So now we’ll live in picture frames
Just like we did when darkness came
So love me now, but not too deep
We both know this love is not for keeps
The wind blows in, the wind blows strong
And the fire burns the work I’ve done
The ashes fall and fill my lungs just like your breath before this all went wrong
I’m so wretched, darkness crept in
I left the door wide open
So here I lie in ice & ash
From burning all my bridges down
But like a child, won’t say I’m lost without a home
Won’t beg just to be found
I’m so wretched, darkness crept in
I left the door wide open
There’s an ice inside my heart and it burns like a fire
The flames they grow higher
