[Verse 1] You swore you’d take the blame Then watched me choke on every word You laughed it off in crowded rooms I memorized each twisted nerve You said “it’s not that deep” I replied with a broken glass Your name became a metal taste I spit it out But always comes back [Chorus] I'D SET MYSELF ON FIRE! Just to watch you burn Turned my ribs into a furnace Over trust never returned My best years Turn to smoke inside my lungs I keep feeding all the embers And they’re burning through my throat (yeah) [Verse 2] Every night Same rerun fight You walk away I rewrite lines Spitting at empty chairs Til sunrise cuts across my eyes I miss the kid i used to be [Chorus] I'D SET MYSELF ON FIRE! Just to watch you burn Turned my ribs into a furnace For a war you wouldn't wage These best years Turn to smoke inside my lungs I keep feeding all the embers And they’re burning through my throat (let it burn) [Bridge] [band drops to sparse Clean guitar and soft drums] How long Can i clutch this coal Before it’s all i am Before my friends stop calling Cuz I only answer in anger You are not here You don’t hear You don’t care You don’t care I’M ROTTING! IN THE ROOM YOU LEFT Screaming at a ghost Til my own voice goes [Chorus] I SET MYSELF ON FIRE You just walked away Wasted youth on phantom battles With a face that never stayed These best years Ash and acid in my throat If i keep this blaze inside me It will kill me
