the day (i) the earth burned down to the core
no one expected to be woken up to fire
no one expected that yesterday was the day
for goodbyes and i love you's

the day (the earth) i burned down the core
no one cared to be woken up
no one cared that yesterday i was here
and now i'm gone

the day we burned down to the core
was the day i found a pack of matches
in the gutter on an empty street
the day we burned down to the core
was the day i dropped that lit match
and did nothing but watch it burn.
