We carved our names into the door frame
And patched every crack we could
Covered stains on walls with cheap paint
But it rotted where it stood

Pictures tell a story but pain will tell the truth
Can’t say I saw it coming but the end of me is you

If i’m stickin’ around it’s in a casket Cause you knew & I know it now
That we built this foundation out of matches
And paper mache all around So you stay and i’ll go
With my soul and your ghost
No more dancing around on the ashes
Of a house that we both burned down

We saw the smoke
And wouldn’t let go
Thought it was worth the fight
Turns out hell is something home grown
That you can’t see from inside

Pictures tell a story but pain will tell the truth
Some things end in glory
But not for me and you

If i’m stickin’ around it’s in a casket
Cause you knew & I know it now
That we built this foundation out of matches
And paper mache all around So you stay and i’ll go
With my soul and your ghost
No more dancing around on the ashes
Of a house that we both burned down

Pictures tell a story but pain will tell the truth
Some things end in glory and some things torn in two

If i’m stickin’ around it’s in a casket
Cause you knew & I know it now
That we built this foundation out of matches
And paper mache all around So you stay and i’ll go
With my soul and your ghost
No more dancing around on the ashes
Of a house that we both burned down

Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
If i’m stickin’ around it’s in a casket
No more dancing around on the ashes
So you stay and i’ll go
With my soul and your ghost
