[Verse 1]
Don't call me if you miss me
Don't call me just to kiss me
Honey if you're listening I did all that I can
But this just ain't no way to live
Never get back everything I give
Turns out you just can't make a kid love you like a man

[Chorus]
So I burn it down down down, that house on the hillside
'Cause the Lord knows that I tried to make it what it wasn't
And all those wild, wild flowers I crushed 'em up in my hands
Everybody knows I could never go down in silence
Remember what I said
I won't be there I won't be there I won't bе there

[Verse 2]
And if therе's one thing that I know for sure
One day this will hurt you more
I'll know that I did all I could do
I've said my piece, said my farewell
And I won't be at the wishin' well
When you're beggin' God to bring me back to you

[Chorus]
'Cause I burn it down down down, that house on the hillside
'Cause the Lord knows that I tried to make it what it wasn't
And all those wild, wild flowers I crushed 'em up in my hands
Everybody knows I could never go down in silence
Remember what I said
I won't be there I won't be there I won't be there
[Verse 3]
Don't you worry 'bout me it ain't all that bad
You're the one that lost the best thing you ever had
So I'll keep you like a secret in the back of my mind
Tell you like a story when I'm bored sometimes
'member how I loved you when I was naive
But the truth is you were never good enough for me
Wish that I could say that I wished you well
But I just can't go lyin' to myself

[Chorus]
So I burn it down down down, that house on the hillside
'Cause the Lord knows that I tried to make it what it wasn't
And all those wild, wild flowers I crushed 'em up in my hands
Everybody knows I could never go down in silence
Remember what I said
I won't be there I won't be there I won't be there
I won't be there I won't be there I won't be there
I won't be there I won't be there I won't be there
I won't be there I won't be there I won't be there
