lyrics

Ive seen it all I know your plan
I’ve heard your name I know your reflection
So when you’re crawling on the floor
Make me fee like I’m the exception
And I won’t fall for it
I won’t fall for you I want better

Whispers won’t get you very far I know a story when I hear one
And if its up to me my dear I’ll take the hard truth when its given
So hold your breath cos I won’t listen I want better

Yeah your foolish your foolish you’re a fool

Take your promises light them on fire
Empty words they will burn from the pyre
Your love is cool but Im getting tired
Keep sending your letters I’ll light them on fire

I know you’re jealous of the night
For when it’s dark no one can see you
But there are secrets you can’t hide
those kind of shadows never suit you

And I won’t fall for it
I won’t fall for you I want better

Take your promises light them on fire
Empty words they will burn from the pyre
Your love is cool but Im getting tired
Keep sending your letters I’ll light them on fire

Yeah you’re foolish you’re foolish you’re a fool
Yeah you’re foolish you’re foolish you’re a fool
And I can’t stand to see you crumble I can’t stand to see a man unravel

Take your promises light them on fire
Empty words they will burn from the pyre
Yore love is cool but Im getting tired
Keep sending your letters i’ll light them on fire

I’ll light them on fire x 8
