*[Verse 1 - Rapid fire]*
Texas motel, four cats and me
One mistake, now the whole place free
Burning down like my sanity
They said arson, I said accidentally
*[Pre-Chorus]*
Smoke rising, sirens screaming
Heart racing, barely breathing
Looking for my feline friends
Thought this might be how it ends
*[Chorus - Melodic]*
They say I bring the heat wherever I go
Guess they ain't lying, now the whole world knows
Five counts hanging over my head
But my cats alive, so I ain't dead
I bring the heat, can't you see
Sometimes it burns everything around me
*[Verse 2 - Rapid fire]*
Seven years with her by my side
Thought she'd have my back, thought she'd ride or die
Fire department asking who was last inside
She points at me, nowhere to hide
Cuffs on my wrists, questions flying
"Was it intentional?" I'm not lying
Paraphernalia, charges stacking
Seven years of love, now I'm lacking
*[Bridge - Spoken/Half-sung]*
Four little heartbeats in the smoke
Thought I lost them, nearly broke
Seven years and she sold me out
That's what betrayal's all about
But they made it, we survived
Sometimes destruction keeps you alive
*[Chorus]*
They say I bring the heat wherever I go
Guess they ain't lying, now the whole world knows
Five counts hanging over my head
But my cats alive, so I ain't dead
I bring the heat, can't you see
Sometimes it burns everything around me
*[Outro]*
Texas in the rearview mirror
Lesson learned, vision clearer
Still bringing heat but now I know
Sometimes you gotta let it go
(Let it burn, let it burn)
(But save what matters, save what matters)
