You say you want to start a fire

You say that you don't even care

About repercussions

You say you could go anywhere

What if I didn't either

God damn if I could too

But if I were to leave here darling

You think that it would be with you

Say all that you want

Say it as loud as you can

It'll never change a thing

I still won't give a damn

And it's not that i don't want to

Sometimes i wish i could

But baby i'd just flaunt you

You know that I'm no good

Hate me all you need

Give me all the blame

But you know me

I can never be put to shame

No matter what i want

Its nothing more than a game

You play hard to get

And then i'll play you just the same

I hate it too

But what can i do

I was never cut out

For the simple "me and you"

I love you, Well

At least i think i do

Will anything ever change

Or is this all just right on cue

Did i break your gaze

Is this not what you wanted dear?

Was this more than you can handle

Is this not what you wanna hear?

Go on and drown me in your tears

Bleed out your eyes

And oh just maybe you could kill me

But i will never sympathise

I'll be the one that you can count on

To be the one thats never there

I'll be the shadow in your bedroom

The one that looms over your stare

I'll be your favourite thing to think on

To wonder what you did all wrong

And all the while my mind is quiet

And you're nothing more than one more song

Hate me all you want

Blame me all you need

Say its all because of me

And i'm the reason that you bleed

I have nothing left to hope for

No cards left to play

No body left to feed on

No body left to plague

I could never learn to love you

As much as I want to

And even hollow as i am now

I'd still never wish the same for you

Kill me off completely

Clear me from your head

I could never be with you

And you could never love the dead

You say you wanna start a fire
