I knew it wouldn't pass by this time
I couldn't even cry
I live on borrowed time
Like an arsonist in the forest
Like a love that's run its course
I had to make the choice
I couldn't shape my voice
To say I love you if I tried
And when you think about the times
Just wonder if they ever went like you had in mind
That's how they burn down
That's how they burn down
Like cathedrals
I couldn't thread the needle in the haystack of your heart
I couldn't play the part
Like a promise thrown out the door
Like the feeling I can't take this anymore
That's how they burn down
I had to make the choice
I couldn't shape my voice
To say I love you if I tried
And when you think about the times
Just wonder if they ever went like you had in mind
That's how they burn down
That's how they burn down
Like cathedrals
