| Burn Down Music & Lyrics by Paula Chafetz Snyder copyright © 2007 by Paula Chafetz Snyder ASCAP What are you trying to hide from yourself? Did your woman leave you up on some shelf? Did you lose all your money on that bet you made? Are you tossing & turning in the bed you made? What do you need to guard from your heart? Are you tired of falling apart? Do you worry you’ll crash & burn at home? Or, do you fear going home alone? (chorus) So, burn down another cigarette. Throw that hot liquor straight down. You’re safe in that bottle so cork yourself in. Drown all your sorrow and feel safe within. Yes, you can feel safe within. What dark secret are you hiding inside? Are you mourning some soul who left you & died? Do you fear you’re just not good enough? Are you too tired & is life too tough? Do you think you can change who you are with that drink? Do you care too much about what people think? And when you come to are you remembering all the heartache your nightmare’s gonna’ bring? (bridge) You turn to spout something philosophical. And then you put on that cute wide-eyed grin. When the words come out, there’s a question of doubt. And when you walk out the door you‘re stumblin’ In your eyes comes that mountain of sadness. Your heart spills out with false gladness. Doesn’t reality bite when you let it in? Yet tomorrow you’ll do it again. You rise from your chair trying to act really cool. But the joke’s on you, because you look like a fool. And those folks you think you are leaving behind shake their heads ‘cause you’re out of your mind! (bridge) You turn to spout... (then chorus) So burn down... You can feel, you can be... **Burn Down (**fade out) |
