lyrics

A heavy burden, being right all the time
Now she's sifting through the ashes of the scene of the crime
She poured her heart into a fiery lie
Spent her love on a person who just left her to die

Oh, oh, where can she go?
She cashed it in and went home
Oh, oh, where can she go?
She cashed it in and went home

There's nothing left except a scorch on the ground
And the bare foundation echoing the softest of sound
He turned her yard into a funeral mound
But she still whispers his name when there's no one around

Oh, oh, where did he go?
He cashed it in and went home
Oh, oh, where did he go?
He cashed it in and went home

He lit a fire cause it's just what he does
Built a towering inferno just to see what it was
I don't exactly know what he was thinking of
But if he felt anything for her, she was his second love
This sort of thing it didn't happen everyday
Until the devil came to earth and then he blew it all away
They say the powers that may be have all abandoned what they may
And while we wait for them to sort it out we're all here to stay

Oh, oh, where did they go?
They cashed it in and went home
Oh, oh, where did they go?
They cashed it in and went home
