Ready to Burn Lyrics

I've never known what you've known:
You've known love before.
I've only come last
In my scattered past
Dust and ash on the floor
Dust and ash on the floor

Try not to mislead.
Is there logic in our thoughts?
I know you'll weigh the pros and cons
Am I the one you want?

It's better to believe that you're someone -
Than no one at all.
Sure, they love the singer,
But not the song.
They always get her words wrong.

The demons hear the exterior
They'll try and hold her down.
They've never meant much to me
The way you do now.

It's no use to stay
I know what they'll ask for
I'm ready now to burn
Dust and ash on the floor
Dust and ash on the floor
I'm ready now to burn
To be dust and ash
Haven't you heard?
Strangers never ask:
"Am I the one you want?
Am I the one you want?"

No heart is safe (that's the risk you take)
Be courageous and crazed (you played it safe, I was not afraid to lose)

Never known what you had known:
You've had love before.
I've only come last
In my scattered past
Dust and ash on the floor
