[Verse 1]
Park the car
Said you had a bad sleep but it's gonna get worse
And I stand in line
As I watch you slide into the booth that we called our own

[Chorus]
And I'm about to start a fire in my own backyard
And they don't tell you how bad it hurts to break a heart like hers

[Verse 2]
You put the coffee down
Ask if I'm alright, guess it's gotta be now
"Sorry I delayed, I just wanted to store that smile in my mind"

[Chorus]
Before I lit a match to start a fire in my own backyard
And they don't tell you how bad it hurts to break a heart like hers

[Verse 3]
Try to say the words
I rehearsed all night while you fell asleep
I didn't feel the right ones came out
Saw you freeze when I started to speak

[Chorus]
As I was lighting up a fire in your own backyard
But they didn't tell me how bad it hurts to break a heart like hers
[Bridge]
They say you break up
And in a little while you won't remember the things we wanted
And then you wake up and she's fading but you still remember the way she loved you
They say you break up
And in a little while you won't remember the things we wanted
And then you wake up and she's fading but you still remember the way she loved you

[Outro]
I'm about to start a fire in my own backyard
And they don't tell how bad it hurts to break a heart like hers
