Lyrics
You fanned the flames, the fire
Of my, of my desire
Then you're cold heart
Watched me burn (watched me burn)
Spending my days looking back at the ways
That I lost (that I lost) my attraction
Everything was a threat
Holding on by a thread to a wick (to a wick)
Didn't last long
We were burning both ends (top and bottom)
I'm learning to accept it
All I am to you is lighter fluid
And you can try to gaslight my friends into thinking
That you cared about me
But all you wanted was the
Kerosene
(Kerosene)
I bet you remember embers with a fondness
Still wear our ashes as our tragic broken promises
I feel for the next girl that you put in bondage
Still got your stashes of your matches tryna flaunt this
Honestly, tell 'em you're fine, I hate that I believe
'Cause your smoke and mirrors clear and I can see
When you said you felt sparks
Just what you'd mean
So go ahead and
Tell me you're fine, that I believe
Smoke left me blind oh I can't breathe
You sparked the fire that burned out in me
All I am is lighter fluid
And you can act like no one knew it
But we burned so bright
And I didn't mind
Oh I should have seen the warning
When we woke up in the morning
You turned your back on me (me or the Kerosene?)
You lit the Kerosene (would you choose me or the Kerosene?)
You lit the Kerosene
