You Set The Fire by Zina Win-Lemmers Lyrics

You said you'd stop drinking
When you learnt the thoughts i was thinking
I cut you off for a reason
I can't pretend i like a man who spends his week like his weekends

I played a role for too long
Couldn't tell my friends what was going on
I laid the plates on the cloth
I stayed like nothing was wrong

You set the fire
But you won't notice til the house is burnt, burnt
I'm getting tired of you talking over my words, words

One second chance turned to twenty
You don't know what school i'm attending
I never snuck out to the party
But you always leave without a warning

And now the others stopped trying
You can't hеlp someone who doesn't want it
I wrotе a poem on the carpet
But i never got up to read it
I was a clown for ages
Honestly smiled on occasion
I tried so hard to be perfect
To make up for a life that wasn't

You set the fire
But you won't notice til the house is burnt, burnt
I'm getting tired of you talking over my words, words

One shattered heart turned to many
You held your glass, you could have held me
Replay the past but it's still happening
I guess you can't change everything

I wonder what it'd be like
In another life
If i spilt my heart again
I wonder if we'd be fine
Or if we'd just pretend
We were a family til the

You set the fire
But you won't notice til the house is burnt, burnt
I'm getting tired of you talking over my words, words

I was a kid at sixteen, i never thought that i'd be
Feeling the same at twenty
I guess you can't change everything
