burned down forests

[Chorus]

If heartbreak burned down forests

The Amazon would be ash

I never wrote a chorus

‘Bout a flame that didn’t catch

And I still don’t know what love is

Cause I’ve never found romance

But I find it’s unproductive

To dream of it secondhand


[Verse 1]

And I think you should know

It was harder than I thought it’d be to let you go

Played old voicemails just to hear you on my telephone

And our friends, they tell me now you’re doing better though

But I’m not better though

And I still want you to know

I cried harder than the forty days could ever rain

Wrappеd myself up in my bedsheets like in cеllophane

Heard the wind blow through the city whispering your name

Only got myself to blame


[Chorus]

Cause if heartbreak burned down forests

The Amazon would be ash

I never wrote a chorus

‘Bout a flame that didn’t catch

And I still don’t know what love is

Cause I’ve never found romance

But I find it’s unproductive

To dream of it secondhand


[Verse 2]

And I don’t wanna know

Was he everything you wanted me to ever be?

Is the time we spent another painful memory?

When you pass by my apartment, do you think of me

And what we’ll never be?


[Chorus]

Cause if heartbreak shattered cities

New York would be off the map

Oh, you never looked so pretty

When we blew our final chance

And I still don’t know what love is

Cause I’ve never found romance

But I find it’s more productive

To dream of it secondhand


[Instrumental Bridge + Voicemail]


[Chorus]

And if heartbreak burned down forests

The Amazon would be ash

I never wrote a chorus

About a flame that didn’t catch

And if love was always easy

It wouldn’t be worth half a damn

But you still don’t wanna see me
