Lyrics to Bonfire

Well, I can try ten where we went wrong

I'm sure that it would make a great country song

But I wouldn't want to have to re-hash it

Every time I sang along

Well, I been drinkin' every night

To numb my pain

Some would say it a hundred proof

Could fuel a flame

You strike a match

And your thoughts will ignite

It's the way you dumped me

Well, it's just like rot

Chorus:

(I'm gonna) (You gotta) light a bonfire

Burn it to the ground

Stack it high with bad memories

(And) (Then) all the things that let 'ya down

You gotta light a bonfire

Burn it to the ground

Let 'em go all those broken dreams

And the nightmare'll be hell-bound

(All right)

Lord, 'ya know I loved you

But I still got burned

You never see it comin'

That's a lesson I learned

It could blind-side 'ya so damn quick

Hits 'ya like a ton 'a bricks

Well, I finally figured out

You just let it go

Like ashes in the wind

You just let 'em blow

You torch those mem'ries

You know what I mean

Think of your lighter and some mental gasoline

(I'm gonna) (You gotta) light a bonfire

Burn it to the ground

Stack it high with bad memories

(And) (Then) all the things that let 'ya down

You gotta light a bonfire

Burn it to the ground

Let 'em go all those broken dreams

And the nightmare'll be hell-bound

(All right)

Let fire in your mind

Burn hot as the sun

Take a couple shots of whiskey

Hell! Just for fun

One more thing:

Yeah! I'm talking some trash

Before I torch your memory

Well, kiss my...

You gotta light a bonfire

Burn it to the ground

Stack it high with bad memories

Then all the things that let 'ya down

You gotta light a bonfire

Burn it to the ground

Let 'em go all those broken dreams

And the nightmare'll be hell-bound
