I Burned LA Down Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left a hole in my chest when you left
And my heart followed you out the door
And I stood and bled in the hall, watched it all
And the mess that it left on the floor
If I gave you less, would you want me more?
And you could've said anything at all
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, embers in the dark
Can look just like shooting stars
To a bitter, broken heart
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I hadn't burned this city down
'Cause you didn't care, no, you didn't care
Yeah, I burned LA down and you left me there
Oh, you left me there
[Verse 2]
I waste my brеath on a prayer, you don't care
I was nevеr a part of your plan
You can't make a God of somebody
Who's not even half of a half-decent man
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, embers in the dark
Can look just like shooting stars
To a bitter, broken heart
You left a hole in my chest when you left
And my heart followed you out the door
And I stood and bled in the hall, watched it all
And the mess that it left on the floor
If I gave you less, would you want me more?
And you could've said anything at all
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, embers in the dark
Can look just like shooting stars
To a bitter, broken heart
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I hadn't burned this city down
'Cause you didn't care, no, you didn't care
Yeah, I burned LA down and you left me there
Oh, you left me there
[Verse 2]
I waste my brеath on a prayer, you don't care
I was nevеr a part of your plan
You can't make a God of somebody
Who's not even half of a half-decent man
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, embers in the dark
Can look just like shooting stars
To a bitter, broken heart
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I hadn't burned this city down
'Cause you didn't care, no, you didn't care
Yeah, I burned LA down and you left me there
Oh, you left me there
I burned this city down 'cause you didn't care, no, you didn't care
Yeah, I burned LA down and you left me there
Oh, you left me there
[Outro]
You left a hole in my chest when you left
And my heart followed you out the door
Oh, I wish I hadn't burned this city down
'Cause you didn't care, no, you didn't care
Yeah, I burned LA down and you left me there
Oh, you left me there
I burned this city down 'cause you didn't care, no, you didn't care
Yeah, I burned LA down and you left me there
Oh, you left me there
[Outro]
You left a hole in my chest when you left
And my heart followed you out the door

What did Noah Cyrus say about "I Burned LA Down"?
Genius Answer
The live strings are by Rob Moose. So fucking beautiful. Lyrically, this song gave me the same feeling I got when I had written ‘The End of Everything’ and ‘I Got So High That I Saw Jesus’ and ‘July’. I was like, ‘Man, this song feels like it lasts forever.’ That’s advice I got from John Mayer: ‘Keep writing music that people will sing forever.’
Is there a Genius 'Verified' interview?
