about

A country-style song of bar-room regrets.

lyrics

I've been from city to city
Boys I’ve been around
Believing my armour
Would not let me down
These tears are the mark of
A lesson I learned
I started a fire
Now everything’s burned

She was my temptation
I dreamed of her touch
I put up some resistance
Yeah, but not very much
Now my home is in ruins
She says it’s not her concern
I started a fire
Now everything's burned

I read up on my rights
I thought it was true
That happiness was something
I was entitled to
Too late I realised
It has to be earned.
I started a fire
Now everything's burned

I could have stood back
And watched from afar
When will I learn
To leave things as they are?

If I had the money
Boys, I’d run away
Somewhere I could live
To love another day
Round here it’s just memories
Everywhere I turn
I started a fire
Now everything's burned
