I hate to sleep with one eye open I see the headlights turn to shadows driving past I hope one night it's not you going 'Cause you woke up and realised what you could have
You sleep with peace of mind, you don't worry I'm wide awake, I know it's gon' hurt me Least you could do is show a little mercy now
So if you're gonna leave, leave me In the middle of the night Set the bed on fire Set the bed on fire If you're gonna leave, leave me Don't say goodbye Just set the bed on fire Baby, set the bed on fire And let it burn, let it burn Let it burn all the way to the ground Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn Let it burn on down
Sometimes, I wonder what you're thinking You say you love me, but sometimes, I have my doubts Baby, what if our ship was sinking? Would I be the only one hanging on when it goes down?
You sleep with peace of mind, you don't worry I'm wide awake, I know it's gon' hurt me The least you could do is show a little mercy now
So if you're gonna leave, leave me In the middle of the night Set the bed on fire Set the bed on fire If you're gonna leave, leave me And don't say goodbye Just set the bed on fire Baby, set the bed on fire (just set the bed on) And let it burn, let it burn Let it burn all the way to the ground Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn Let it burn on down
Let it burn on down
Let it burn on down
Don't drag it out, don't hang around Don't take your time, don't twist the knife Don't let me see, just let me dream
So if you're gonna leave, leave me In the middle of the night Oh, set the bed on fire Set the bed on fire If you're gonna leave (leave me), leave me Don't say goodbye (don't say goodbye) Just set the bed on fire (set the bed on fire) Baby, set the bed on fire And let it burn, let it burn Let it burn all the way to the ground Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn Let it burn on down
Let it burn, let it burn Let it burn all the way to the ground Just let it burn, let it burn, let it burn Let it burn on down
