[Verse 1]
Take this lantern and burn it down
Scatter the ashes on holy ground
We'll dance circles and sing around
Praying for answers till the sun goes down
[Chorus]
I can't love you if you won't let go
I can't lead you where you don't want to go
This old house, well it's burning down
And I don't want to find our ashes on the ground
When the flames settle down
[Verse 2]
Crosses hanging in one room shack
Whisper something that you can't take back
I ain't seen a thing in my whole life
Like a woman who loves a man that treats her right
[Chorus]
But I can't love you if you won't let go
I can't lead you where you don't want to go
This old house, well it's burning down
And I don't want to find our ashes on the ground
When the flames settled down
[Bridge]
I'm not leaving
I'm not leaving
Without you
I'm not leaving
I'm not leaving
Without you…
[Chorus]
But I can't love you if you won't let go
I can't lead you where you don't want to go
This old house, well it's burning down
And I don't want to find our ashes on the ground
When the flames settled down
