LET 'EM BURN

Before I put such a high price on what love can do for a man I was fine with chasin' dreams instead of love I never really had Some believed in God, some believed in someone else Or hell, maybe nothin' at all Half the time I didn't believe in myself Didn't wanna crumble up papers all these years just to have some stories to tell But here I am with tattered notebooks filled with words to put up for sale Never wanted any of your friends or damn near anyone but you So when I told you how I felt, just know for damn sure it was true Spent the past few years searching for ways to make it through Then you came along, wrecked me all the way back to my Mississippi roots Half of me regrets us; the other half wishes we still were For the bullshit hand I was dealt before my world took a turn for the worst Until you've come to terms with love and what you want from it in return I'll put these sticks, stones, and sad love songs in the fire and let 'em burn Let 'em burn, let 'em burn Let 'em burn, let 'em burn, let 'em burn Let 'em burn, let 'em burn, let 'em burn I'll put these sticks, stones, and sad love songs in the fire and let 'em burn
