Brett Dennen - Walk Away, Watch Me Burn Lyrics






Woke up early this mornin'
To a thunder and rainstorm
Last night I forgot to close
My windows

My home's been broken
And my heart has been blown wide open
I don't wanna feel angry
I don't wanna feel empty
I don't want no sympathy

Who am I to blame?
What can I say? I'll never learn
Going down in flames
Walk away, watch me burn
Walk away, watch me burn

I was thinking 'bout my place in the universe
Looking at the Earth's curve
How much my little heart can hurt
Some people got a lot of nerve

I'm not afraid
No, I never been afraid of failure
I'm not afraid of global warmin'
Or the market crashin'
Or the terrorists attackin'

Who am I to blame?
What can I say? I will never learn
I'm goin' down in flames
Walk away, watch me burn
Walk away, watch me burn

I swam in the ocean in the night
Under the stars it's so clear
My pale body bouncin' in the waves
I felt I could disappear, I'm still here, yes, I am

Who am I to blame?
What can I say? I will never learn
I'm goin' down in flames
Walk away, watch me burn
Walk away, watch me burn
Walk away, watch me burn

  10. L.... C....

    been listening to this guy since his self titled album back in 04. I can't believe he is not big as in BIG yet! Brilliant songwriter.

  11. D.... G....

    just caught him on live from Daryl's house, awesome

  12. f.... ....

    Luuuuuuke!!!! 

  13. R.... D....

    Nothing like broke 9-5 haters hating on a person for being brave enough to launch out and do what they love! 

  14. M.... ....

    love this song. wish he'd played it last week in Austin, Hopefully he will in Dallas this december.

  15. u.... ....

    He may not be your cup of tea, so to speak, but claiming that he can't sing is just idiotic. Further, in my opinion, he has written some great lyrics as well. I'm assuming you fancy yourself a poet of sorts? I have to imagine that you aren't a very good writer yourself, when you don't even understand the difference between "excepted" and "accepted".... Keep your jealous, teenage petulancy for your journal.. I imagine you could use the practice..

  16. N.... S....

    you say that but you have a picture of paul McCartney. prime example of a guy from a vastly over-rated band. they didn't get decent until the drugs only made them more creative. this is much better than most of the stuff on the radio.

  17. M.... P....

    Please don't comment on his ability to write when the best you can do is that shitty poem about a scarecrow.

  18. k.... n....

    cant get enough of it!!! completely in love with his voice. I really hope my husband takes me to asheville in october,what a great anniversary that would be. its totally worth the 8 hour drive!! love how he draws on all his guitars with a sharpie,it shows he is an artist in more ways than one. Also love his barefoot tendancies!

  19. m.... ....

    Just. Genius. OMG.

  20. M.... K....

    he's brilliant!!! his music is TIMELESS

  21. R.... ....

    Heaven for me is this room. Just Brett Dennen jaming. Aint noting better on a sunny day in the city than plug in Sydney and turn the volume to max and just walk and enjoy everything!

  22. A.... ....

    Funny how this one turns into one of your favorites. Anybody have the chords on this?

  23. K.... K....

    i cant understand a god damn word he says.

  24. Z.... R....

    i really love this so much. the chills are lovely

  25. D.... ....

    Is this in standard tuning? can anyone pick out the chords too? i'm horrible at it

  26. J.... S....

    I haven't heard a NEW singer / band that I liked and needed to see live since 1992 when the Counting Crows came out. Brett has the makings of a great new Dylan for this generation. The songs have meaning and SOUL and I haven't cried listening to a song in a long time, Desert sunrise live did. I finally got to see him Live in NYC back in May. Even though I stuck out being 50ish all the songs sound better live. sorry I had to wait until this year to see him live

  27. A.... T....

    ...you just sang my whole life.

  28. J.... H....

    first time I heard Brett Dennen from Tap tap revenge on ipod... I never heard such decent voice and talents... I wanted to hear more and I just absolutely loved it... as soon as I got new set of hearing aids I can picked up pretty much more than my old hearing aids would do... I love your music Dennen! :D

  29. s.... ....

    This started out being my least favorite song on the album because I didn't like the way it was recorded, but it is now one of my faves.

  30. J.... W....

    This song reminds me of lilac tree's and being 17, staring out an old lead paint window, remembering memories I never had :)

  31. H.... ....

    Please come do a Concert in the Park here in Bend, Oregon. I will call in sick(to work) to come see you! LOL Luv your lyrics. If they are even just a spec of how you think...then I am looking forward to the rest of your thoughts. You bring magic to music. Thankx for sharing it with the rest of us. )O( Blessed be ~Samantha

  32. A.... P....

    @tacticalsimo oh hey scott! how did you find that comment lol :D

  33. k.... ....

    love it!!!

  34. A.... P....

    this has a slight sense of heaven in it.

  35. J.... S....

    i love the spiritual feel of this song and live recording. i feel privileged to experience this art :)

  36. R.... ....

    Sweet sweet sweet sound. Song flows really nice. Thanks for sharing, looks likes you guys are dialed in and enjoying..

  37. G.... G....
