Artist: Brett Dennen

Album: Loverboy

Genre: Folk

  • Songwriters: Brett Dennen

[vs 1]
Woke up early this mornin'
To a Thunder and Rain storm;
Last night I forgot to close
My windows.
My heart has been broken
And my heart's been blown
Wide open.
I don't wanna feel angry.
I don't wanna feel empty.
I don't want no sympathy.

[Ch]
Who am I to blame?
What can I say?
I never learn.

Goin' down in flames!
Walk away,
Watch me burn.

Walk away,
Watch me burn.

[vs 2]
Was thinkin' 'bout my place in the universe.
Lookin' at the Earth's curve.
How much my little heart can get hurt.
Some people gotta lotta nerve.
I'm not afraid,
No, I never been afraid
Of failing.
I'm not afraid of global warming
Or the market crashin'
Or terrorists attacking.

[Ch]
Who am I to blame?
What can I say?
I never learn.

I'm goin' down in flames!
Walk away,
Watch me burn.

Walk away,
Watch me burn.

[Bridge]
I swam in the ocean,
In the night,
Under the stars so clear.

My pale body bouncin'
In the waves;
I felt I could disappear.

I'm still here.

Yes, I am.

[Ch]
Who am I to blame?
What can I say?
I never learn.

I'm goin' down in flames!
Walk away,
Watch me burn.

Walk away,
Watch me burn.

Walk away,
Watch me burn.

    What a fantastic song! The recording is a demo so it's a bit rough, but hey! Brett excels himself with every album!

  • Daisy Reynolds

    What to say! Yet another excellent song by Brett.
