Lyrics

Watching It Burn

[Verse 1]

I've seen this coming for a long time

The silence in the conversations

Saying more than feel safe out loud

There was a time I would've fought you

To save this love but now it's pointless

Standing like strangers in the crowd

[Chorus]

Watching it burn

And I am helpless now to stop it

Watching it burn

Looks like the whole world's crashing down

[Verse 2]

Thought we were in it for the long run

That we were built to last in sadder

Coal fire is prudently long

I feel it growing from the inside

Why should we stay and wait forever?

Knowing what is coming along

[Chorus]

Watching it burn

And I am helpless now to stop it

Watching it burn

Looks like the whole world's crashing down

Watching it burn

And I am helpless now to stop it

Watching it burn

Don't wanna see it burn

[Post-Chorus]

Don't wanna see it burn

Don't wanna see it burn

Don't wanna see it burn

[Chorus]

Watching it burn

And I am helpless now to stop it

Watching it burn

Looks like the whole world's crashing down

Watching it burn

And I am helpless now to stop it

Watching it burn

Don't wanna see it burn

Don't wanna see it burn
