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
