## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Had me in the palm, had me in the palm of your hand

You could throw me down to see how I land

And I'm the type of bitch running 'till my next heartbreak

But you still pull me 'round to see what I'll take

**[Chorus]**

Oh woah-oh, I'm just waiting for this house to burn down

Oh woah-oh, and I'm just waiting for my luck to run out

Oh woah-oh, and if you tell me that you're leaving

Imma need a better reason than you hate the way I'm mean, oh oh

And I'm just waiting for this house to burn down

**[Verse 2]**

I'm the type of bitch always gotta dry her eyes

'Cause someone said somethin' that I didn't like

Maybe I've been catching, maybe I've been catching good days

But when you're sweet to me like lemonade

**[Chorus]**

Oh woah-oh, I'm just waiting for this house to burn down

Oh woah-oh, I'm just waiting for my luck to run out

Oh woah-oh, and if you tell me that you're leaving

Imma need a better reason than you hate the way I'm mean, oh oh

I'm just waiting for this house to burn down

**[Bridge]**

Damn, you're good when you say you love me

Damn, you're good when you give me nothing

Damn, you're good when you say you love

Damn, you're good when you give me nothing

**[Chorus]**

Ah, I'm just waiting for this house to burn down

Oh woah-oh, I'm just waiting for my luck to run out

Oh woah-oh, and if you tell me that you're leaving

Imma need a better reason than you hate the way I'm mean, oh oh

I'm just waiting for this house to burn down
