[Verse 1]
I've seen this coming for a long time
The silence in the conversations
Saying more than feel safe out loud
There was a time I would've fought you
To save this love but now it's pointless
Standing like strangers in the crowd

[Chorus]
Watching it burn
And I am helpless now to stop it
Watching it burn
Looks like the whole world's crashing down

[Verse 2]
Thought we were in it for the long run
That we were built to last in sadder
Coal fire is prudently long
I feel it growing from the inside
Why should we stay and wait forever?
Knowing what is coming along

[Chorus]
Watching it burn
And I am helpless now to stop it
Watching it burn
Looks like the whole world's crashing down
Watching it burn
And I am helpless now to stop it
Watching it burn
Don't wanna see it burn
[Post-Chorus]
Don't wanna see it burn
Don't wanna see it burn
Don't wanna see it burn

[Chorus]
Watching it burn
And I am helpless now to stop it
Watching it burn
Looks like the whole world's crashing down
Watching it burn
And I am helpless now to stop it
Watching it burn
Don't wanna see it burn
Don't wanna see it burn
