Lyrics
0:06For years you fed me only crumbs
0:12You paid me only dust
0:16Said I was too hard to love
0:19Oh oh oh
0:21For years I tried to rise above
0:27Was only light and love
0:30But now I'm "Shut the fuck up"
0:34Oh oh oh
0:37You know I gave and I gave
0:39Now I'm giving up
0:41There's nothing more you can take no
0:44Don't wanna cause a scene
0:47But give me the gasoline
0:49Tonight's the night
0:53I light a match
0:54Throw it hard behind my back
0:58Gonna try to forgive and forget
1:02Light a cigarette
1:04And watch it burn
1:08With the past
1:09I'ma breathe in the ash
1:13Gonna try to forgive and forget
1:17Light a cigarette
1:19And watch it burn
1:22Thank you for showing me the pain
1:28This was not a mistake
1:31The mistake would be to stay
1:38You know I gave and I gave
1:40Now I'm giving up
1:41There's nothing more you can take no
1:45Don't wanna cause a scene
1:47But give me the gasoline
1:50Tonight's the night
1:54I light a match
1:55Throw it hard behind my back
1:59Gonna try to forgive and forget
2:03Light a cigarette
2:05And watch it burn
2:08With the past
2:10I'ma breathe in the ash
2:14Gonna try to forgive and forget
2:18Light a cigarette
2:20And watch it burn
2:22I'm gonna get what I deserve
2:26I'm sorry I know that it hurts
2:30Finally I put myself first
2:35And watch it burn
2:37I'm gonna get what I deserve
2:41I'm sorry I know that it hurts
2:44Finally I put myself first
2:49And watch it burn
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
