Burning Down Lyrics


You let me down, cant fix you now
Thought i could count on you to be around
You bring me down, down, down way down
What is the problem
Are you taking me seriously
Is it a joke to you
Or maybe im a fool
Why am i trying
So hard to be the girl that you need
How is this fair to me
When you break through
This is to much
Dont call it love
You are the reason its so hard to trust
Boy this aint what i wanted
And now its got to stop
You let me down, cant fix you now
Thought i could count on you to be around

You bring me down, down, down way down
No more tears
Why did i let you have so much control
I gave my arm to you
And you pushed me away
Why are you here oh
Dont you see im letting you go
The damage is done baby
I have nothing to say
Its gone to far
Dont know who you are
I think its better that we are apart
Babe i know where i am
And i know where your near
You let me down, cant fix you now
Thought i could count on you to be around
You bring me down, down, down way down
You let me down, thought i had had found
Some one to catch me when i hit the ground
You bring me down, down, down way down (ooooh)
Would you like it if
I did the same thing to
You and i lasted
Walking years on ma shoes
Boy theres no excuse
Cause of what you did theres no me and you
Would you like it if
I did the same thing
You wouldnt of liked
Walking in time
Boy theres no excuse
Thats who you are and im so over you
You let me down, cant fix you now
Thought i could count on you to be around
You bring me down, down, down way down
You let me down, thought i had had found
Some one to catch me when i hit the ground
You bring me down, down, down way down
Down
Down
Stop bringing me, stop bringing me
Down down
Oooh

R.E.M. were an alternative rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, United States in 1980. The band originally consisted of Michael Stipe (vocals), Peter Buck (guitar, mandolin), Mike Mills (bass, keyboards, vocals) and Bill Berry (drums). Berry retired from the band in October 1997 after having suffered a brain aneurysm in 1995.

R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe", in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone. The single was followed by the Chronic Town EP in 1982, the band's first release on I.R.S. Records. In 1983, the group released its critically acclaimed debut album, Murmur, and built its reputation over the next few years through subsequent releases, constant touring, and the support of college radio. Following years of underground success, R.E.M. achieved a mainstream hit in 1987 with the single "The One I Love". The group signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1988, and began to espouse political and environmental concerns while playing large arenas worldwide.

By the early 1990s, when alternative rock began to experience broad mainstream success, R.E.M. was viewed as a pioneer of the genre and released its two most commercially successful albums, Out of Time (1991) and Automatic for the People (1992), which veered from the band's established sound. R.E.M.'s 1994 release, Monster, was a return to a more rock-oriented sound. The band began its first tour in six years to support the album; the tour was marred by medical emergencies suffered by three band members. In 1996, R.E.M. re-signed with Warner Bros. for a reported US$80 million, at the time the most expensive recording contract in history. The following year, Bill Berry left the band, while Buck, Mills, and Stipe continued the group as a three-piece. Through some changes in musical style, the band continued its career into the next decade with mixed critical and commercial success. In 2007, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

On 21 September 2011, after over 30 years together, R.E.M. announced that they had split up.
