I am the fuel to your fire Is what I thought as you bummed a cigarette That night I was so damn tired I swore that I might never love again
You tried to keep it together But I knew you weren’t going to get much sleep I kept my hands to myself And reality became a bad dream
As I sat by the ocean I wondered if I would ever speak again Or if all of my answers Would wash up on shore so I could rest
I am the fuel to your fire But my love You know I will burn you bad Ignite all of your insides Until the only thing left to do is hide
I read everything I wrote that night And realized Who I thought I was Was just a lie Was just a lie
I am the fuel to your fire All my veins run thick with gasoline I wear a mask of desire Make you believe I am what you need
I am the antagonist I am not what who I may seem to be You better stay away from me ‘Cause you lit the match And I’m starting to bleed
Breaking my back I fall to my knees I’ll cover my mouth So you won’t hear me scream I need you to know I never meant to let go The day that I loved was the day I lost my own
I am the bad taste left in your mouth You know I tried to be better But I didn’t know how And I can be honest I couldn’t promise To be able to give you everything that you wanted
