Burning Buildings

Self sabotage, you invented it

You dramatise just for the hell of it

So problematic, wrote the book on it

Living your life like it’s on television

You have an affinity for trouble

You think it makes you wild

I think you’re a liability

You say you’re a middle child

And I want to be there for you

But I want this to end

You make it hard to love you, and you know I can't pretend

You keep walking into burning buildings

Saying that you’ll be fine

And I know I can't stop you and it kills me

It's just a matter of time before you

Go on and call me

Crying out on the floor

And I’ll try my best

But I can’t help you anymore

If you keep walking in

I can't keep putting out these burning buildings

Oh-oh

You cut me off say that you've heard it all

Your parents didn’t teach you steady love

You never learn and that’s the issue here

You’ve made an enemy of being crystal clear

You have an affinity for trouble

You think it makes you wild

I think you’re a liability

You say you’re a middle child

And I want to be there for you

But I want this to end

You make it hard to love you, and you know I can't pretend

You keep walking into burning buildings

Saying that you’ll be fine

And I know I can't stop you and it kills me

It's just a matter of time before you

Go on and call me

Crying out on the floor

And I’ll try my best

But I can’t help you anymore

If you keep walking in

I can't keep putting out these burning buildings

I can’t keep putting them out

I can't keep putting them out

I can't keep putting them out

These buildings

I can't keep putting them out

I can't keep putting them out

I can't keep putting them out

These buildings

You keep walking into burning buildings

Saying that you’ll be fine

And I know I can't stop you and it kills me

It's just a matter of time before you

Go on and call me

Crying out on the floor

And I'll try my best but I can't help you anymore

If you keep walking in

I can't keep putting out these burning buildings
