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
