kerosene

Sell me your lies
Tell me you'll fix it
I try and I tried
But you never listen
They tell me I'm fine
They tell me I'll miss it
But I wouldn't mind
If you would just mind your business
Why do I keep tripping over what's behind me
Boy, you left me paralyzed, I'm out of my mind
Telling me you're sorry doesn't satisfy me
When I'm already dead inside
Kerosene
Is half as cheap
As therapy
Now that's what I call irony
Cause everything
Gives me anxiety
As if my baby hasn't fucked me up entirely
I'll burn it down (down) down (down)
I'll drop the match then watch me walk away from everything
I'll burn it down (down) down (down) 'cause kerosene
Is half as cheap
As therapy
You look surprised
Don't act so innocent
Or were you so blind
Did you even give a shit?
Thought we fit perfectly
I thought you agreed
Tell me what's wrong with me?
Didn't I make you happy?
Why do I keep tripping over what's behind me
Boy, you left me paralyzed, I'm out of my mind
Telling me you're sorry doesn't satisfy me
When I'm already dead inside
Kerosene
Is half as cheap
As therapy
Now that's what I call irony
Cause everything
Gives me anxiety
As if my baby hasn't fucked me up entirely
I'll burn it down (down) down (down)
I'll drop the match then watch me walk away from everything
I'll burn down (down) down (down)
Cause kerosene
Is half as cheap
As therapy
He loves me
He loves me not
He thinks he loves me cause I'm all he's got
He loves me
He loves me not
Watch me light the match then let it drop
Kerosene
Is half as cheap
As therapy
Now that's what I call irony
Cause everything
Gives me anxiety
As if my baby hasn't fucked me up entirely
I'll burn it down (down) down (down)
I'll drop the match then watch me walk away from everything
I'll burn it down (down) down (down)
Cause kerosene
Is half as cheap
As therapy
