The Arsonist

Embers that have drifted away
Long lost memories are fading
Ashes cover lonely graves
Where you left me to die
How does it feel to take a life away?
You turned your back on me so easily
You set me on fire, my only home
I let you inside and you watched me burn
You criminal, criminal
It started with a spark, and ended in flames
Nothing here that conforts me
Where I was so complete
I still can't believe you mean so much to me
areyou feeling guilty for throwing the match
or spilling the gasoline?
And when the smoke had cleared
How quickly you disappeared
You set me on fire, my only home
I let you inside and you watched me burn
You criminal, criminal
It started with a spark, and ended in flames
A tragedy that ends in never speaking your name
You're nothing but a ghost to me
Ashes cover lonely graves
Where you letf me to die
You set me on fire, my only home
I let you inside and you watched me burn
You criminal, criminal
It started with a spark, and ended in flames
I let you inside, I let you inside
