Lyrics

You were gonna set the house on fire
And you were gonna say you didn’t care
Now you were gonna give another reason
And justify why no one‘s here

Were you gonna say, “He’s the problem?”
Oh, and how hard you’ve tried?
Were you gonna say, “It doesn’t matter?"
Well, you know there’s a consequence to lies

I could give in
But I can’t live in
You couldn’t give in
But we can’t live in

A house on fire
A house on fire

Well open up the window, let some air in
While we clear out a little smoke and step outside
Looking for a little lost redemption
You were looking for me to swallow my pride

Oh, were you gonna say, “He’s the problem?"
And oh now how hard you tried?
Were you gonna say, “It doesn’t matter?"
Well, you know there’s a consequence to lies

And I could give in
But I can’t live in
You couldn’t give in
But we can’t live in

A house on fire

And all it takes is just a moment
All it takes is just one moment to find peace
And all it takes is just a moment
Oh

But were you gonna say, “I’m the problem?"
And oh now how hard you tried?
Were you gonna say, “It doesn’t matter?"
Well, you know there’s a consequence to lies

And I could give in
But I can’t live in
You couldn’t give in
But you can’t live in
Baby we could give in 
But we can’t live in 

A house on fire
A house on fire

Now you were gonna set the house on fire
Now you were gonna set the house on fire
Maybe you shouldn’t set the house on fire
