I said, don't put gas on skin
What if it catches, that's not like our leather jackets
He said, here's when you lose your innocence
He said, boy life's not pretend, then lit the matches
And I'm afraid I've never seen a flame as big
Fire in the matress, things just smoldering
He's not in love with anything at all,
The gas smells like his alcohol

They weren't fast enough,
Everything just blackened up next door,
I let it burn, I let it burn, I let it burn,
And I was getting in my car Getting in my car

Why can't someone else be who just witnessed this?
Because you sold me for the note you should have wrote,
I just said you went to bed with cigarettes
They don't know you've never smoked,
They don't know you've never smoked,
And that you weren't in love with anything at all
No one broke your heart, you just never got involved

They weren't fast enough,
Everything just blackened up next door,
I let it burn, I let it burn, I let it burn,
And I was getting in my car Getting in my car

Getting in my car Getting in my car
