[Intro] [Verse 1] You storm out the front door, your rage in the air I tried to end this gently, but you never played fair You swore your love was endless, no rules and no ties Yet every time I step away, you spread your hateful lies [Pre-Chorus] How can I love you when you scream that I don't? I gave you my patience, but you still feel alone [Chorus] Itching to leave, and now you're begging to stay Striking the matches for your gaslight ballet You denied me all love, took it all for yourself I'm drowning the fire -- don't need anyone else [Verse 2] His lover rejected you, and now she’s my sin You cry about betrayal, you rewrote the rules again I thought we'd walk away as friends, but that was just a dream Now I know your cycle, dear, I need to break the seam [Pre-Chorus] How can I love you when you scream that I don't? I've given all I had, and I'm better off alone [Chorus] Itching to leave, and now you're begging to stay Striking the matches for your gaslight ballet You denied me all love, took it all for yourself I'm drowning the fire -- don't need anyone else [Bridge] Pack your bags, take your car, I don’t need this anymore Love should lift, not suffocate, so stop keeping score No more walking on a wire, with you ready to explode Get the hell out of my life -- and hit the road! [Guitar Solo] (don't let the door hit you on the way) (don't let the door hit you on the way) (don't let the door hit you on the way... OUT!) (and good riddance!) [End]
