Like a House Burning Down

Like a house burning down I watched my true love turn Grieving all those memories Seeing no return Like a house burning down I watch our friendship fading With every little misstep Another ends' beginning Like a house burning down A feeling developing Your image turns, the feelings stay My heart slowly mourning Like a house burning down My angered soul is blazing Something thought invincible Someting once amazing Like a house burning down 'Till foundation shaking My love for you is still there It's the smile that I'm just faking.
