[Verse 1] You left the matchbox open On my old wood floor Now the smoke rolls slow Under every door I tried to stomp it out Tried to save the frame But your name kept glowing In the cedar grain [Pre-Chorus] So don't come back With that look in your eye I held the line Till the morning dried [Chorus] Let it burn I won't hold the hurt Let it burn Watch the ashes work Let it burn If it wants to, fine I keep what's mine Let it burn [Verse 2] I packed your photo box Near the cracked-up sink Found your note in the drawer And I didn't blink The rain hit the porch step Like a slow old drum I stood there barefoot And I let it come [Pre-Chorus] So don't come back With that guilty charm I learned my peace From a little harm [Chorus] Let it burn I won't hold the hurt Let it burn Watch the ashes work Let it burn If it wants to, fine I keep what's mine (Let it burn) [Bridge] Turn the key Walk away Let the old heat Have its say I won't beg I won't chase I can build again From the space [Final Chorus] Let it burn I won't hold the hurt Let it burn Watch the ashes work Let it burn If it wants to, fine I keep what's mine Let it burn, let it burn
