Songs don't teach you anything
Imagining my life
You, planting another tree
What will it look like?

So let this house come down around me
Please let this house fall around me

Please don't tell me anything
I'm no stranger to advice you tell your friends
Just to feign some confidence

Words don't mean anything
I could be a fly on the wall
But nothing's strange, I've seen it all

So let this house come down around me
Please let this house fall around me

I'm not a fool, and never was
But I refuse to be the one
Who writes the play around the gun
No, not for anyone

Please let this house fall around me
