Lyrics:
For years
You fed me only crumbs
You paid me only dust
Said I was too hard to love
Oh oh oh
For years
I tried to rise above
Was only light and love
But now I’m shut the fuck up
Oh oh oh
You know I gave and I gave
Now I’m giving up
There’s nothing more you can take, no
Don’t wanna cause a scene
But give me the gasoline
Tonight’s the night
I light a match
Throw it hard behind my back
Gonna try to forgive and forget
Light a cigarette
And watch it burn
With the past
I’ma breathe in the ash
Gonna try to forgive and forget
Light a cigarette
And watch it burn
Thank you
For showing me the pain
This was not a mistake
The mistake would be to stay
You know I gave and I gave
Now I’m giving up
There’s nothing more you can take, no
Don’t wanna cause a scene
But give me the gasoline
Tonight’s the night
I light a match
Throw it hard behind my back
Gonna try to forgive and forget
Light a cigarette
And watch it burn
With the past
I’ma breathe in the ash
Gonna try to forgive and forget
Light a cigarette
And watch it burn
I’m gonna get what I deserve
I’m sorry I know that it hurts
Finally I put myself first
And watch it burn
I’m gonna get what I deserve
I’m sorry I know that it hurts
Finally I put myself first
And watch it burn
