Let it Bburn
As it rolls down my face
Let it Gfall
Just to be Amthe one again
But if I wBmant

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Let it slide

All the choices I made

Let it burn

As it rolls down my face

Let it fall

Just to be the one again

But if I want

I won't be loved by you at all

Let it slip

Every promise I break

Let it burn

All the blows that we trade

Let it fall

'cause this place has been condemned

And we both know

That we can't be here anymore

[Instrumental]

Em A D

[Chorus]

Yeah, I know I pulled a pin on your heart

But I lost sight of the target when you let down your guard

Should've run, run a hundred miles

Never look back, Jack, 'cause now we can't backtrack

And yeah, I know what you'll say, nothing can change

No one to blame, it's on the tip of my tongue

Here it comes, this is crazy, you should know that

I would go back in a heartbeat

Just to make your heart beat

[Verse 2]

Let it fail

It's too late to be saved

Let it roll

They're all across this grey

Let it blaze

There's a darkness in the flame

And it's lost

And we can't bear it anymore

Let it slide

I can't start it again

Let it burn

While it's held in my hand

Let it fall

'cause this journey is at its end

It's only luck

That I was loved by you at all

[Instrumental]

Em A D

[Chorus]

Yeah, I know I pulled a pin on your heart

But I lost sight of the target when you let down your guard

Should've run, run a hundred miles

Never look back track, 'cause now we can backtrack

And yeah, I know what you'll say, nothing can change

No one to blame, it's on the tip of my tongue

Here it comes, this is crazy, you should know that

I would go back in a heartbeat

Just to make your heart beat

[Chorus]

Yeah, I know I pulled a pin on your heart

But I lost sight of the target when you let down your guard

Should've run, run a hundred miles

Never look back track, 'cause now we can backtrack

And yeah, I know what you'll say, nothing can change

No one to blame, it's on the tip of my tongue

Here it comes, this is crazy, you should know that

I would go back in a heartbeat

Just to make your heart beat
