[Verse 1]
You call me an actor, never say what I'm thinking
Always so dramatic when you say that you're leaving
You slam the door, don't know what for
I'm a lot, but you're a lot, and that says a lot
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I'm wondering how you haven't worked it out
You should know by now
[Chorus]
I hate to admit it, but I'm down and out
Knew that we were walking on shaky ground
Built our house to watch it all burn down
I try to find balance while the world goes 'round
Keeping up appearances for someone else
Built our house to watch it all burn down
[Verse 2]
You call me a traitor for putting my heart out
Too easy to cut this, like a razor paper
Is it the house, or where we placed it?
All I know now is I'm sleeping on the pavement
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I'm wondering how you haven't worked it out
You should know by now
[Chorus]
I hate to admit it, but I'm down and out
Knew that we were walking on shaky ground
Built our house to watch it all burn down
I try to find balance while the world goes 'round
Keeping up appearances for someone else
Built our house to watch it all burn down
