House On Fire
Alexi Lyrics

You gon' always do what you want to
You have a strong will and will always do what you desire.

No matter what anybody tells you
Despite what people advise you, you continue to act as you please.

Chasing temporary fixes, you won't call it quits
You look for momentary solutions, and even when they prove unhelpful, you're unwilling to stop.

Just living to exist, yeah shit
Your life has no real purpose and is mediocre at best.

I'm the one who's there on all your bad days
I am the person who supports you on your worst days.

But you can't bring yourself to meet me halfway
You are unwilling to compromise and meet me halfway in our relationship.

I lose sleep, but I love you too much to let you leave
I am willing to sacrifice my well-being for your happiness because I love you deeply.

Your ignorance is bliss
You choose to be blind to your troubles, which makes you feel content.

And I know that you're not listening
You ignore my advice despite my best efforts to help you.

And I feel so helpless, tryna help you
I feel powerless to help you despite my best efforts.

From the outside looking in, yeah
From an external viewpoint, it is evident that you are in a difficult situation.

You're trapped in a house on fire, house on fire
You are stuck in a situation that is rapidly deteriorating and causing damage.

And it's burning, burning down
The fire is gradually causing destruction and chaos.

You won't let me get you out
You are resistant to my efforts to remove you from this situation.

'Cause it looks to me that you don't wanna be saved
You appear to have no desire to be rescued from this harmful situation.

I'll just stand here ten feet away
I will remain close to you but will not interfere with your choices.

Watchin' you, trapped in your house on fire
I observe you struggling with your problems, and it's painful to watch.

Maybe I don't know what's best
It's possible that I am not always right in my approach or solutions.

And maybe you're not ready yet
Perhaps you need more time to be mentally or emotionally prepared to confront your troubles.

'Cause it's too hard to deal
It's challenging to confront and handle your issues.

Changing the channel when it gets too real
You avoid reality and choose to indulge in distractions whenever the situation seems too much to handle.

You know how much I care for you
You are aware of my deep affection and concern for you.

Tell me, how I can be there for you
Please let me know how I can provide aid or support to you in your time of need.

But I'm gonna fight with your demons
I am committed to battling alongside you and helping you overcome your problems.

Fire, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The fire is symbolic of the dangerous situation you are currently in.

Your house on fire, your house on fire
Your struggles are represented as your house, and it is currently on fire, causing destruction and harm.

Fire
The fire is a recurring symbol of the dangerous situation you are in.
