Ooh You gave me fire, I didn't ask But I smiled and watched you slip off the mask You called it fate, I called it fun You prayed for me under a villain Sun I never kissed you to heal I never touched you to feel I only whispered sweet things So you'd beg me not to kill I never promised to stay But you still built me a throne anyway Laid your chest out, played side up Then called it love and drank the cup I never needed your name But I carved it deeper, all the same I told you I'd leave when I'm done And darling, I'm not even halfway gone You write poems with your blood But I dip my nails in it like mud You ain't so pretty when you lose That's why I let you choose I never promised to stay But you still burned for me anyway Let you worship every scar And blamed me when you fell too far I never promised a net You were just one more broken bet But you begged for the Sun to win So I gave you what I ruined best
