I used to wear rose-coloured glasses
Now I find myself the realist
It took some time to put my feelings forward
You put it out like your last cigarette
Tried to leave it to my better judgment
I guess I'm fine with getting burned again
Leave it out there with my disappointment
I've given up on ever losing it

Feel my hands slipping from you
Make amends with my regrets
I'll pretend that I won't miss you
But I know I can't forget
Say your piece and I will listen
Say goodbye before I let
You play, you play the arsonist
You play, you play the arsonist
You play, you play the arsonist

I know you have high expectations
But I know that I'm falling off
I'm not who you want me to be anymore
I can't live in your fairy tale world
I'm a broken home with broken trust
I can't hurt you with this heavy heart anymore

Feel my hand slipping from you
Make amends with my regrets
I'll pretend that I won't miss you
But I know I can't forget
Say your piece and I will listen
Say goodbye before I let
You play, you play the arsonist
You play, you play the arsonist
You play, you play the arsonist

I feel you
I lead you on
But I need you
Someday I'll learn

Feel my hand slipping from you
Make amends with my regrets
I'll pretend that I won't miss you
But I know I can't forget
Say your piece and I will listen
Say goodbye before I let
You play, you play the arsonist
You play, you play the arsonist
You play, you play the arsonist
You play, you play the arsonist
