[verse] i’m done lying to myself this time i know it’s going downhill is it part of god’s plan? ’cause part of me is aching i’m not doing well i won’t call for help ’cause i can’t let you see me that way a race against time and i’m out of breath old habits are waiting can’t find my rubber bands [pre-hook] fire in the corner of my eyes the house is catching fire paralyzed, watching it spread a lifetime lived inside it and yet i’m standing right there like an outsider [hook] i have a lot of numbers on my phone but no one i can dial i hate that i’m going through it on my own now things are getting vile hope it finds its way to you wishing you get touched by the same fire [verse 2] i know you’ll hear about it on the news turn your back ’cause it’s probably gonna leave a bruise they’ll ask you where you were when the fire grew you’ll say you’re innocent but you’re the same person who lit the fuse i’m covered in third-degree burns and god they hurt you play with fire long enough and you’ll end up burned [bridge] maybe i was waiting for somebody to smell the smoke maybe i kept quiet just to see who’d notice first i could’ve saved myself if my eyes weren’t fixed on the door waiting for you to burst now i have to spend the rest of my life wishing you never gave me your word [final pre-hook] fire in the corner of my eyes the house is catching fire paralyzed, watching it spread a lifetime lived inside it and yet i’m standing right there like an outsider [final hook] i have a lot of numbers on my phone but no one i can dial i hate that i’m going through it on my own now things are getting vile hope it finds its way to you wishing you get touched by the same fire [outro]
