Arsonist

You got me drunk So I'd open up to you So I'd tell you more About what I wish I could afford to do And you knew Way too many things I should've never said I should've stopped in the beginning A short fuse And way too many strings Attached that I couldn't even fucking see Now I drink to forget those memories But I told you not to wait for me So whose fault is that if you got hurt baby? And I guess you can't be friends with me Said we grew apart but now you say You can't even stand to hear me sing Mhm Mhm hmm I found a friend in the misery But a flame was burning that I couldn't keep And gasoline only adds to the fire So I dropped your hand and broke the lighter Hope you understand Why I can't be your man And I bought you boots and wrote my name On the bottom right so you'd feel safe Now you know you kissed The lips of an arsonist Now I feel stuck Like my time was made of glue And you let it dry After I tried to give it all to you And you do Things so perfectly I couldn't measure up I couldn't be with you and give up my dream I love you But not the way you need Someone to hold you like you're everything I know damn well that I'll never be I told you not to wait for me So whose fault is that if you got hurt baby? And I guess you can't be friends with me Said we grew apart but now you say You can't even stand to hear me sing Mhm Mhm hmm I found a friend in the misery But a flame was burning that I couldn't keep And gasoline only adds to the fire So I dropped your hand and broke the lighter Hope you understand Why I can't be your man And I bought you boots and wrote my name On the bottom right so you'd feel safe But now you know you kissed The lips of an arsonist When you're telling all your friends you're the one who's hurting Don't forget about the way we shared our burdens In the back of the parking lot at the bar Where you took home a boy who was drunk in your car Mhm And when you wonder what you did to deserve it Don't expect me to be the bigger person 'Cause you made me feel so damn worthless So if you think you smell something burning It's the late nights that you spent with me Said we were best of friends and had me convinced that you would never leave By loving you I only made things worse 'Cause you add my name to the list you curse Ruin all your plans 'Cause I can't be your man And I held you close on the bench outside 'Cause I got so drunk I couldn't drive Ignorance is bliss But you made an arsonist I found a friend in the misery But a flame was burning that I couldn't keep
