Commonwealth Avenue

I am the fuel to your fire
 Is what I thought as you bummed a cigarette
 That night I was so damn tired
 I swore that I might never love again
 You tried to keep it together
 But I knew you weren't going to get much sleep
 I kept my hands to myself
 And reality became a bad dream
 As I sat by the ocean
 I wondered if I would ever speak again
 Or if all of my answers
 Would wash up on shore so I could rest
 I am the fuel to your fire
 But my love
 You know I will burn you bad
 Ignite all of your insides
 Until the only thing left to do is hide
 I read everything I wrote that night
 And realized
 Who I thought I was
 Was just a lie
 Was just a lie
 I read everything I wrote that night
 And realized
 Who I thought I was
 Was just a lie
 Was just a lie
 I am the fuel to your fire
 All my veins run thick with gasoline
 I wear a mask of desire
 Make you believe
 I am what you need
 I am the antagonist
 I am not who I may seem to be
 You better stay away from me
 'Cause you lit the match
 And I'm starting to bleed
 Breaking my back
 I fall to my knees
 I'll cover my mouth
 So you won't hear me scream
 I need you to know
 I never meant to let go
 The day that I loved was the day I lost my own
 I am the bad taste left in your mouth
 You know I tried to be better
 But I didn't know how
 And I can be honest
 I couldn't promise
 To be able to give you everything that you wanted
 I am the bad taste left in your mouth
 You know I tried to be better
 But I didn't know how
 And I can be honest
 I couldn't promise
 To be able to give you everything that you wanted
 I am the bad taste left in your mouth
 You know I tried to be better
 But I didn't know how
 And I can be honest
 I couldn't promise
 To be able to give you everything that you wanted
 I am the bad taste left in your mouth
 You know I tried to be better
 But I didn't know how
 And I can be honest
 I couldn't promise
 To be able to give you everything that you wanted
