I threw away the evidence and every little traceBy now, it should be evident that I'm the one to blameI own the conflagration, it was I who lit the flameThen I flushed all of my matches down the drainOh, I know there's no excuse for what I didSo the only thing I can do is admitI was the arsonistThe one who burned us to the ground after the argumentSet fire to the room with our hearts in itAnd though I said that you're the one who startеd itI started itI was the arsonistBut now I'll make it up to you for all thе darknessFor everything I put you through, let me start with thisI started itNow I'll build back that room with our hearts in itI was the arsonistUm, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, dumI'm siftin' through the rubble and the ashes all aroundLiftin' with my shovel as it crashes through the groundI'm reminded that the troubleall the trouble that surroundsIs my fault and I'm here to fix it nowOh, I know there's no excuse for what I didSo the only thing I can do is admitI was the arsonistThe one who burned us to the ground after the argumentSet fire to the room with our hearts in itAnd though I said that you're the one who started itI started itI was the arsonistBut now I'll make it up to you for all the darknessFor everything I put you through, let me start with thisI started itNow I'll build back that room with our hearts in itI was the arsonistUm, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, dumI was the arsonistUm, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, daI'll pay the fine, do the time, leave that person behindBurn away the past and move past all my crimeI was the arsonistThe one who burned us to the ground after the argumentSet fire to the room with our hearts in itAnd though I said that you're the one who started itI started itI was the arsonistBut now I'll make it up to you for all the darknessFor everything I put you through, let me start with thisI started itNow I'll build back that room with our hearts in itI was the arsonistUm, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, dumI was the arsonistUm, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, da
