Bendable Tunes - You Burned My Dinner When You Set The House On Fire Lyrics

We were high school sweethearts, first kiss in the rain
Prom night promises and tickets to the train
Built a life together on hopes and sheer desire
You burned my dinner when you set the house on fire

Holding hands in whispers, secrets that we shared
How's it all gone up in smoke with just a simple flare
You burned my dinner when you set the house on fire
Thought it was love but now I'm just a liar

Smoke in the kitchen, flames in the air
How'd we end up here from that county fair
You set my heart on blaze but not in a good way
I miss those old days where we'd just laugh and sway

Now the nights are colder, sleeping all alone
Picking up the pieces of what we used to own
Broken dishes, burnt remains, memories that sear
How'd we lose it all to find ourselves here

You set my heart on blaze but not in a good way
I miss those old days where we'd just laugh and sway
Sitting on the porch swing, watching life go by
Thinking about the days when you were by my side

But now I'm picking ashes from a love that's gone
Someone else's melody but it's our song
Holding hands in whispers, secrets that we shared
How's it all gone up in smoke with just a simple flare

Now I'm sweeping up the memories scattered on the floor
Looking for the moments I can't find anymore
You burned my dinner when you set the house on fire
All I'm left with now are embers of our desire

We had dreams wrapped up in a wedding band
Forever together, that was the plan
