Johnny Manchild & The Poor Bastards
Start a Fire
You say you want to start a fire
You say that you don't even care
About repercussions
You say you could go anywhere
What if I didn't either
God damn if I could too
But if I were to leave here darling
You think that it would be with you
Say all that you want
Say it as loud as you can
It'll never change a thing
I still won't give a damn
And it's not that i don't want to
Sometimes i wish i could
But baby i'd just flaunt you
You know that I'm no good
Hate me all you need
Give me all the blame
But you know me
I can never be put to shame
No matter what i want
Its nothing more than a game
You play hard to get
And then i'll play you just the same
I hate it too
But what can i do
I was never cut out
For the simple "me and you"
I love you, Well
At least i think i do
Will anything ever change
Or is this all just right on cue
Did i break your gaze
Is this not what you wanted dear?
Was this more than you can handle
Is this not what you wanna hear?
Go on and drown me in your tears
Bleed out your eyes
And oh just maybe you could kill me
But i will never sympathise
I'll be the one that you can count on
To be the one thats never there
I'll be the shadow in your bedroom
The one that looms over your stare
I'll be your favourite thing to think on
To wonder what you did all wrong
And all the while my mind is quiet
And you're nothing more than one more song
Hate me all you want
Blame me all you need
Say its all because of me
And i'm the reason that you bleed
I have nothing left to hope for
No cards left to play
No body left to feed on
No body left to plague
I could never learn to love you
As much as I want to
And even hollow as i am now
I'd still never wish the same for you
Kill me off completely
Clear me from your head
I could never be with you
And you could never love the dead
You say you wanna start a fire
