[Verse 1]

I hate to sleep with one eye open

I see the headlights turn to shadows driving past

I hope one night, it's not you going

'Cause you woke up and realized what you could have

[Pre-Chorus]

You sleep with peace of mind, you don't worry

I'm wide awake, I know it's gon' hurt me

Least you could do is show a little mercy now

[Chorus]

So if you're gonna leave, leave me

In the middle of the night

Set the bed on fire

Set the bed on fire

If you're gonna leave, leave me

Don't say goodbye

Just set the bed on fire

Baby, set the bed on fire

And let it burn, let it burn

Let it burn all the way to the ground

Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn

Let it burn on down

[Verse 2]

Sometimes, I wonder what you're thinking

You say you love me, but sometimes, I have my doubts

Baby, what if our ship was sinking?

Would I be the only one hanging on when it goes down?

[Pre-Chorus]

You sleep with peace of mind, you don't worry

I'm wide awake, I know it's gon' hurt me

The least you could do is show a little mercy now

[Chorus]

So if you're gonna leave, leave me

In the middle of the night

Set the bed on fire

Set the bed on fire

If you're gonna leave, leave me

And don't say goodbye

Just set the bed on fire

Baby, set the bed on fire (Just set the bed on fire)

And let it burn, let it burn

Let it burn all the way to the ground

Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn

Let it burn on down

[Refrain]

Let it burn on down

Let it burn on down

[Bridge]

Don't drag it out, don't hang around

Don't take your time, don't twist the knife

Don't let me see, just let me dream

[Chorus]

So if you're gonna leave, leave me

In the middle of the night

Oh, set the bed on fire

Set the bed on fire

If you're gonna leave (Leave me), leave me

Don't say goodbye (Don't say goodbye)

Just set the bed on fire (Set the bed on fire)

Baby, set the bed on fire

And let it burn, let it burn

Let it burn all the way to the ground

Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn

Let it burn on down

[Outro]

Let it burn, let it burn

Let it burn all the way to the ground

Just let it burn, let it burn, let it burn

Let it burn on down
