J. R. McNeely - Up In Flames lyrics

[Verse 1] I don't want to say what I've got on my mind Cause nothing tonight wants to come out on time The truth is I'd rather sit out and unwind Let somebody else tell their story this time I wonder what happened to give me the right To step on a platform and pick up a mic And tell you the way to be living your life Cause all my credentials were lies [Pre-Chorus] You've had your say Now take your seat I know my place You don't know me [Chorus] I'll probably end up in flames Before the end of the night Watch me burn in the fire Watch me bid you good-bye Your words they fall off the page Like they fall on deaf ears You know that it's over Nothing left for you here (Nothing left for you here) [Verse 2] I waited too long letting people like you Tell me what they want, and what I shouldn't do So mark me with words but you can't tie my hands There's nothing I'll say to make you understand I know who I am, I know where I'll end up In flames and that's fine, cause I'm finally fed up Stick with what I started, don't care how it hurts The loudest get shot at the worst Pre-Chorus] You've had your say Now take your seat I know my place You don't know me [Chorus] I'll probably end up in flames Before the end of the night Watch me burn in the fire Watch me bid you good-bye Your words they fall off the page Like they fall on deaf ears You know that it's over Nothing left for you here (Nothing left for you here) [Bridge] You know I'll never fold like you're the authority I won't throw my hands up like you're the authority You know I'll never fold like you're the authority I won't throw my hands up like you're the authority [Chorus] I'll probably end up in flames Before the end of the night Watch me burn in the fire Watch me bid you good-bye Your words they fall off the page Like they fall on deaf ears You know that it's over Nothing left for you here (Nothing left for you here) [Chorus] I'll probably end up in flames Before the end of the night Watch me burn in the fire Watch me bid you good-bye Your words they fall off the page Like they fall on deaf ears You know that it's over Nothing left for you here (Nothing left for you here)
