House On Fire
Jonah Blacksmith Lyrics

My bed, it ain't warm without you
I feel empty and lonely when you're not with me

But I know when you're here, I freeze
Being with you causes me stress and anxiety

'Cause you don't smile
You seem unhappy or unsatisfied

And you don't cry anymore
You have shut off your emotions

We don't kiss and we don't fight
Our relationship is stagnant and lacks passion

We just breathe
We exist together, but there is no real connection

My head and my heart and my hands are longing
I yearn for you both physically and emotionally

I just woke up in smoke feeling the heat coming
I am suffocating under the strain and pressure of our relationship

'Cause the house is on fire
Our relationship is falling apart or in crisis

I can't wake you up
I am unable to get through to you or make you see our problems

Are you there, my love?
I am desperately seeking connection and validation from you

The night ain't the same without you
I feel incomplete and lost without you

But I know when you're here, I can't sleep
I am kept awake by the tension and discomfort of our relationship

Although I try so hard
I am putting in effort to fix things between us

I can't break through and get near you
Our emotional distance is too great for me to bridge

And it burns my throat when I breathe
The stress and anxiety of our relationship is taking a physical toll on me

I set fire to the place
I am so desperate for a reaction or response from you that I am resorting to extreme measures

And run for the hills
I am trying to escape the reality of our situation

Just to see the fire in your eyes
I want to see some emotion from you, even if it is anger or resentment
