Lyrics

Save This City

I don't even wanna talk about it

Rather just turn my back and run

Buried a lie for the last time

Paid all my debts from my past life

Oh I don't know, I don't know

Started with the roses, thorns came after

Calm before the storm, calm before the storm

Another bittersweet disaster

Would it be easier to burn it down?

Start again from the ash on the ground

Cuz' ain't nothing gonna save this city

Don't you wanna burn down with me?

Would it be better if we end it all

Light a match, let it all fall

Cuz' ain't nothing gonna save this city

Don't you wannna burn down with me?

You know you could never live without it

Russian roulette could be so much fun

If losing our minds' such a crime

Why's it always feel like it's the answer?

Cuz' everytime we talk we're on the run

Yeah, we say ''I love you'' but we're both crazy

Honestly I never gave a fuck

Pack my shit and disappear for days

I never really though I was enough

So let's crash your car just to feel the rush

Cuz' love was never really in my blood

Now we're burning up alive

Would it be easier to burn it down?

Start again from the ash on the ground

Cuz' ain't nothing gonna save this city

Don't you wanna burn down with me?

Would it be better if we end it all

Light a match, let it all fall

Cuz' ain't nothing gonna save this city

Don't you wannna burn down with me?

Oh I don't know, I don't know

Started with the roses, thorns came after

Calm before the storm, calm before the storm

Another bittersweet disaster

Oh I don't know, I don't know

Started with the roses, thorns came after

Calm before the storm, calm before the storm

Another bittersweet disaster

(Would it be easier to burn it down?)

(Start again from the ash on the ground)

(Cuz' ain't nothing gonna save this city)

(Don't you wanna burn down with me?)

Would it be easier to burn it down?

Start again from the ash on the ground

Cuz' ain't nothing gonna save this city

Don't you wanna burn down with me?

Would it be better if we end it all

Light a match, let it all fall

Cuz' ain't nothing gonna save this city

Don't you wannna burn down with me?

Oh I don't know, I don't know

Started with the roses, thorns came after

Calm before the storm, calm before the storm

Another bittersweet disaster
