Wage war on your preconceptions and my exception will come
What you rely on to give purpose to your life
on dreams of being what you'll never become
Cause you got to give,
mother you got to give
to watch it all fall
As I watch it fall away from me
You're too good so far, you're gone so far
And all I am,
turned to war, I can't be
Fall back on the same
excuses that you've been using for years
The only person that you're holding
back's the only one that needed to hear all along
Cause you got to give,
mother you got to give to watch it all fall
As I watch it fall away from me You're too good so far,
you're gone so far
As I watch it fall away from me
Like a house on fire.
Like a house on fire.
Oh,
oh.
Like a house on fire.
Like a house on fire.
