[Verse 1]
Sometimes you burn to fade away, sometimes you want it all
Sometimes you need to slow things down, bring it to a crawl
There's no one coming after you, there's no one at the door
Sometimes you just don't understand the point of it all
[Chorus]
If I could set the world on fire
You'd be the only one to cry
But I still need to hear you say
You'll lay roses on my grave
[Verse 2]
Turn your face into the wind, no one will hear you cry
Reality comes crashing in, begging for a fight
There's no one hiding in the walls, no one to look out for
All accounts are overdrawn, it's time to step aside
[Chorus]
If I could set the world on fire
You'd be the only one to cry
But I still need to hear you say
You'll lay roses on my grave
If I could shut this whole place down
Hold my breath, not make a sound
But I still need to hear you say
That you'll lay roses on my grave
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
If I could set the world on fire
You'd be the only one to cry
But I still need to hear you say
That you'll lay roses on my grave
If I could shut this whole place down
Hold my breath, not make a sound
But I still need to hear you say
You'll lay roses on my grave
