[Verse 1 - alternate male/female lines] You say I lit the match, I say you poured the fuel, Every fight a courtroom, both of us playin’ the fool. You call me reckless, I call you cold, But the truth is the story’s already been told. [Chorus - male lead, female harmony/response] It’s the house we burned, the ashes we made, Pointin’ fingers through the smoke and the haze. Your hands are black, but so are mine, No one walks away from fire lookin’ fine. [Verse 2 - alternate female/male lines] You swore I left you stranded, I swore you turned away, Each word a bullet ricocheted in the hallways. We built it up shaky, ignored the cracks, Now the walls are fallin’ and we can’t go back. [Chorus - together] It’s the house we burned, the ashes we made, Pointin’ fingers through the smoke and the haze. Your hands are black, but so are mine, No one walks away from fire lookin’ fine. [Bridge - start off alternating lines then sing final line together] Maybe it was pride, maybe it was fear, Maybe we just couldn’t hear what we needed to hear. Now I see the embers, glowin’ red and true, Accountability’s a shadow — it belongs to me and you. [Chorus - together] It’s the house we burned, the ashes we made, Pointin’ fingers through the smoke and the haze. Your hands are black, but so are mine, No one walks away from fire lookin’ fine. [Outro] So here’s to the lesson we never learned, Teamwork’s a garden, but blame only burns. No heroes, no villains, just two souls scarred, By the choices we carried like a deck of marked cards.
