Burn It Down Lyrics

Goodbye, strung out on the lawn
The line between us was drawn
All I can see is you're gone and you left me here
With this house on this ground, burn it down

I'll leave my memories inside
In that bed we loved in all night
Every word, every fight, every feeling
Stone cold, not a sound

Burn it down 'til it's ashes and smoke
Burn it down to the smolderin' coals
Burn it down 'til I don't want you no more
Baby, burn it down

Every last song that I wrote
About me and you growing old
Every sliver of hope, everything I know
Pile it up right now

Burn it down 'til it's ashes and smoke
Burn it down to the smolderin' coals
Burn it down 'til I don't want you no more
Baby, burn it down

Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)
Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)

Burn it down 'til it's ashes and smoke
Burn it down to the smolderin' coals
Burn it down 'til I don't want you no more
Baby, burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)
Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)
Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)

Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)

Goodbye, strung out on the lawn
The line between us was drawn
All I can see is you're gone and you left me here
With this house on this ground, burn it down

I'll leave my memories inside
In that bed we loved in all night
Every word, every fight, every feeling
Stone cold, not a sound

Burn it down 'til it's ashes and smoke
Burn it down to the smolderin' coals
Burn it down 'til I don't want you no more
Baby, burn it down

Every last song that I wrote
About me and you growing old
Every sliver of hope, everything I know
Pile it up right now

Burn it down 'til it's ashes and smoke
Burn it down to the smolderin' coals
Burn it down 'til I don't want you no more
Baby, burn it down

Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)
Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)

Burn it down 'til it's ashes and smoke
Burn it down to the smolderin' coals
Burn it down 'til I don't want you no more
Baby, burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)
Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)
Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)

Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
