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
