Harry's Bar

Is there an end  ?

Verse 1

There’s a crack in the window, cold slippin’ in,
Feels like the night knows how this ends.
Your coat on the hanger still smells like you—
Funny how the things you leave behind cut through.

I strike a match just to watch it glow,
’Cause the only thing burnin’ here… is the ghost.

Pre-Chorus

I keep walkin’ room to room,
Tryin’ to shake what feels like you…

Chorus

So I might just burn this house down,
Let the flames take what I can’t put in the ground.
Every picture, every promise, every broken vow—
Baby, they’re gasoline now.
If all that’s left is ashes on the ground,
Maybe I can breathe…
If I burn this house down.

Verse 2

There’s a note on the counter I won’t read yet,
Could be forgiveness, could be regret.
These walls keep talkin’ like they know the truth,
Sayin’, “Son, she’s gone—what you got to lose?”

Chorus

So I might just burn this house down,
Let the flames take what I can’t put in the ground.
Every picture, every promise, every broken vow—
Baby, they’re gasoline now.
If all that’s left is ashes on the ground,
Maybe I can breathe…
If I burn this house down.

Bridge (Short / Gritty)

Maybe fire’s the only thing
That hurts like losin’ you.
Maybe I need somethin’ wild enough
To see this through.

Final Chorus (Lift / Belt)

So tonight I’ll burn this house down,
Let the smoke rise up and bury us now.
Every lie, every promise, every shattered vow—
Lord, they’re nothin’ but kindlin’ now.
If freedom’s in the ashes on the ground,
Maybe I’ll finally breathe…
When I burn this house down.

Tag (Use if time allows)

Baby, I loved you too damn loud…
Now I burn this house down.

How Wonderful You Are
