Lyrics

How could I not see it?
These lies
That you made me believe
I was captivated by
All the love that I perceived

When I was knee-deep in it I never had a doubt
(Had a doubt)
But you left all these little fires for me to put out

So many little fires
For me to put out
You started all these little fires
And I need to get out
Every kernel of manipulation, every verbal degradation
Is another spark on the ground
But it’ll take more than a few little fires to burn me down
(Burn it down)
It takes more than a few little fires to burn me down

How could I not feel it?
The pressure
Of collapsing in on myself
I was too desensitized
And that held me up somehow

When I was caught up in it I couldn't live without
(Live without)
Still you left all these little fires for me to put out

All these little fires
For me to put out
You started all these little fires
And I need to get out
Every kernel of manipulation, every verbal degradation
Is another spark on the ground
But it’ll take more than a few little fires to burn me down
(Burn it down)
It takes more than a few little fires to burn me down

I won’t deny
What we had was good for awhile
And I wanna hold onto that
But I’m stuck with the aftermath

Fires
For me to put out
You started all these little fires
And I need to get out
Every kernel of manipulation, every verbal degradation
Is another spark on the ground
But it’ll take more than a few little fires to burn me down
(Burn it down)
It takes more than a few little fires to burn me down
