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 want to 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, ay
You know I gave and I gave
Now I'm giving up
There's nothing more you can take
No, don't want to 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
