[Verse 1]
Call the brigade for a mess like this
I'm red in the face like a p on a fist
Angry clouds are filling up the streets
I sat on the sofa gripping on the sheets
[Chorus]
The house is burning, burning
I'm stuck outside with the wives and children
Blame me, blame me
But can it last with a love like that?
[Verse 2]
I apologize if a heart felt shrunk
Wipe the excuse with the blood in the rug
Now I know not to be so vain
Blowing off like some neighbors affairs
[Chorus]
The house is burning, burning
I'm stuck outside with the wives and children
Blame me, blame me
But can it last with a scene like that?
[Verse 3]
At least it's a brand new start
As you found a brand new start
Just looking for a place to start
As you found a brand new start
[Verse 4]
Wake up sirs there's knocking on the door
New lives bleeding echo on the floor
Hung in the dust from my mistakes
Evacuate as help is on its way
[Chorus]
The house is burning, burning
I'm stuck outside with the wives and children
Blame me, blame meBut can it last with a scene like that?
[Verse 3](x2)
At least it's a brand new start
As you found a brand new start
Just looking for a place to start
As you found a brand new start
