Myself On Fire Lyrics by Alteras

Myself On Fire

2018

[Verse 1]
It's been a few months and I'm still standing where you left, standing where you left me
Never felt worthless
I don't think this pain in my chest will ever go away
I have sacrificed everything I have for everything I am
Trying way too hard to scream loud enough to be taken seriously

[Chorus]
Please just forgive me, I’m sorry that
I set myself on fire so you'd stay to fan the flames
Never meant to lose you, it’s safe to say that
I knew that's what you needed me to do
That's what you needed me to do

[Verse 2]
We painted the wall of your bedroom a color I can't stop seeing in my sleep
Everybody leaves me
Everybody sees that I'm not the man they thought I was
Take me or leave me
I don't want to be a person that I am not proud of

[Chorus]
Please just forgive me, I’m sorry that
I set myself on fire so you'd stay to fan the flames
Never meant to lose you, but it’s safe to say that
I knew that's what you needed me to do
That's what you needed me to do

[Bridge]
You can take it out on me
It doesn't matter if I can't sleep
Don’t give me sympathy
Cus I don't deserve it, no I don't deserve it
I don't deserve it, no I don't deserve it
No, I don't deserve it

[Chorus]
Please just forgive me, I’m sorry that
I set myself on fire so you'd stay to fan the flames
Never meant to lose you, but it’s safe to say that
I knew that's what you needed me to do
That's what you needed me to do
