i’m a match, she’s kerosene, you know she’s gonna burn down everything
she’s an arsonist, in her pastime, and i’ve been burned for the last time
it started out like any other morning, the sky was red, he took it as a warning
she kicked the hive now the bees are swarming
then played the victim 'til the crowd starts forming
she’s got a history of making a scene, yeah she’s telling stories, she’s gaslighting
like he’s the executioner and she is the queen, but he’s the one who’s neck is in a guillotine, he said i’m a match, she’s kerosene, you know she’s gonna burn down everything
she’s an arsonist, in her pastime, and i’ve been burned for the last time
the smoke clears out and he’s been awakened. he said this life could be mine for the taking
she needs a drink so she start shaking, and play the victim 'til his heart starts breaking
no real tears cause she don’t mean it, this landscape used to be so scenic
and he could make it out, if he could dream it. rising up from the ash, he’s a phoenix
i’m a match, she’s kerosene, you know she’s gonna burn down everything
she’s an arsonist, in her pastime, and i’ve been burned for the last time
you play with me, you're playin' with fire
