I said, don't put gas on skin

What if it catches, that's not like our leather jackets

He said, here's when you lose your innocence

He said, boy life's not pretend, then lit the matches

And I'm afraid I've never seen a flame as big

Fire in the matress, things just smoldering

He's not in love with anything at all

The gas smells like his alcohol

They weren't fast enough

Everything just blackened up next door

I let it burn, I let it burn, I let it burn

And I was getting in my car. Getting in my car

Why can't someone else be who just witnessed this?

Because you sold me for the note you should have wrote

I just said you went to bed with cigarettes

They don't know you've never smoked

They don't know you've never smoked

And that you weren't in love with anything at all

No one broke your heart, you just never got involved

They weren't fast enough

Everything just blackened up next door

I let it burn, I let it burn, I let it burn

And I was getting in my car. Getting in my car

Getting in my car. Getting in my car
