Lips meet teeth and tongue My heart skips eight beats at once If we were meant to be, we would have been by now See what you wanna see, but all I see is him right now I'll sit and watch your car burn With the fire that you started in me But you never came back to ask it out Go ahead and watch my heart burn With the fire that you started in me But I'll never let you back to put it out Your love feels so fake And my demands aren't high to make If I could get to sleep, I would have slept by now Your lies will never keep, I think you need to blow 'em out I'll sit and watch your car burn With the fire that you started in me But you never came back to ask it out Go ahead and watch my heart burn With the fire that you started in me But I'll never let you back to put it out When you call my name Do you think I'll come runnin'? You never did the same So good at givin' me nothin' When you close your eyes, do you picture me? When you fantasize, am I your fantasy? Now you know Now I'm free I'll sit and watch your car burn With the fire that you started in me But you never came back to ask it out Watch my heart burn With the fire that you started in me But I'll never let you back to put it out Never let you back Let you burn, let you burn Never gonna let you back Let you burn
