Kerosene

You say you gave me everything

But you couldn’t give enough

You say you would give me everything

But you can’t give it up

I’m not here for another in between

You are the thickening kerosene

About to blow the whole place up

And burn it down,

I won’t be the match.

 

You say you gave me everything

But you couldn’t give enough

You say you’d give me everything

But you won’t give it up,

I’m not here for another kiss and tell

You are the wheels on my road to hell

About to tear the whole place up

And watch it fade away

I won’t be the rearview mirror,

Wishing we could take it all back in

 

You’re dangerous

I like that but

I don’t need the heartache.

You’re stupidly selfish

I like that but

I don’t need the lonely nights

You’re you and I like that but

It’s wasting my time

 

You say you gave me everything

But you couldn’t give enough

You say you would give me everything

But you can’t give it up

I’m not here for another in between

You are the thickening kerosene
