Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I guess you never know
Someone you think you know
Can't see the knife when you're too close, too close
It scars forever when
Someone you called a friend
Shows you the truth can be so cold, so cold

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd wipe the dirt of your name
With the shirt off my back
I thought that you'd do the same
But you didn't do that
(Yeah)

[Chorus]
Said I'm the one who's wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed 'em lies for dinnеr
You knew the house was burning down
And look at you now

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) And look at you now

[Verse 2]
How do you sleep at night?
No onе to hide behind
Betrayed every alibi you had, you had
You had every chance to make amends
Instead, you got drunk on bitterness
And you still claim that you're innocent, it's sad
That you

[Chorus]
Said I'm the one who's wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed 'em lies for dinner
You knew the house was burning down
(And look at you now)

[Bridge]
Used to tell me you'd pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
Used to tell me you'd pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
And you
[Chorus]
Said I'm the one who's wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed 'em lies for dinner
You knew the house was burning down
(And look at you now)

[Outro]
Used to tell me you'd pray for me (Pray for me)
You were praying for my downfall (For my downfall)
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
Used to tell me you'd pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
And you

[BlueSapphire]

I wanted to be grumpy and hate this but it actually just kicks way too much ass to hate. Well done.

I was literally about to come look up this song for the first time and it was already on my feed. I heard it the first time this morning.

[ginagz]

[EvelynYoung-jq]

I can strongly relate to this beautiful song no lie i ranaway in January 28 2022 for the better i never recovered sm.❤

[Emilyfromflorida]

This one’s for you. Ex mom. Shouldn’t have adopted us just to abuse us. We deserved better. Confronting you at 28 has been hard, I’ll be needing a therapist, thx.

[sheronnepickering]

[oksana]
