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 watching it burn and i am helpless now to stop it watching it burn looks like the whole world s crashing down 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 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 don t wanna see it burn don t wanna see it burn 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
