Burn It Down Lyrics

Goodbye, strung out on the lawn
The line between us was drawn
All I can see is you're gone and you left me here
With this house on this ground, burn it down

I'll leave my memories inside
In that bed we loved in all night
Every word, every fight, every feeling
Stone cold, not a sound

Burn it down 'til it's ashes and smoke
Burn it down to the smolderin' coals
Burn it down 'til I don't want you no more
Baby, burn it down

Every last song that I wrote
About me and you growing old
Every sliver of hope, everything I know
Pile it up right now

Burn it down 'til it's ashes and smoke
Burn it down to the smolderin' coals
Burn it down 'til I don't want you no more
Baby, burn it down

Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)
Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)

Burn it down 'til it's ashes and smoke
Burn it down to the smolderin' coals
Burn it down 'til I don't want you no more
Baby, burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)
Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)
Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)

Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)

What is the Meaning of Burn It Down?

Breaking up is hard, but sometimes you just need to destroy everything that reminds you of a failed relationship. In this emotional country ballad, McCollum portrays a man who's ready to set fire to all the physical and metaphorical remnants of his past love. Rather than holding onto painful memories of shared moments, fights, and dreams of growing old together, he chooses the cathartic act of burning it all down. The imagery of reducing everything to "ashes and smoke" symbolizes his desperate attempt to purge himself of the relationship until there's nothing left that makes him want his ex-partner. It's a raw, powerful expression of how some people need to completely eliminate all traces of a relationship to truly move on. #HeartbreakCountry #MovingOn
