And all your insecurities

Are taken out on me

But I feel like I'm wastin' my time
And I don't see you changin' your mind, your mind

And all your insecurities are taken out on me

Chorus:
You can call me a cryer (Oh), but you hurt me bad
(You hurt me bad)
Tears run like water, I'm not lookin' back
(Not lookin' back)
'Cause you're just a liar and all that we had (All)
Is lost in the fire, burned into ashes

(Keep 'em burnin') Burned into ashes
(Keep 'em burnin') Mmm, burnin' to ashes
(Keep 'em burnin') Burn it to ashes, oh
(Keep 'em burnin')

Oh, I fell for
Cm
Every single word
                 A#
You ever said to me
    Fm          Cm
And all your insecurities
          A#
Are taken out on me
Take 'em out on me, go ahead

Chorus:
Call me a cryer, but you hurt me bad
Tears run like water, so I'm not lookin' back
'Cause you're just a liar and all that we had
Is lost in the fire, burned into ashes

(Keep 'em burnin') Burnin' to ashes
(Keep 'em burnin') Burnin' to ashes
(Keep 'em burnin') Oh, burned into ashes, oh
(Keep 'em burnin') Burnin' to ashes

Burned into ashes
