Lighting the flame

When I met you, I was young
Thought that anything could happen
Said you'd give me the world
While you dressed me in plastic pearls
When I met you, I was fun
Now you'll never see me laughing
I took you at your word
When you said what you wanted was me

Oh-oh-oh-oh
I wouldn't do anything different
Oh-oh-oh-oh
You're just the thing that I needed

Thank you for being such a liar
Thank you, I really do admire
How you hurt me in a million ways
Never taking one bit of blame
Thank you for telling me I'm nothing
Bad news, you never saw it coming
When you told me I was something to waste
Baby, you were lighting the flame

Now you see me doing well
Bet you're crying to your mother
And I hope that you learned
That you can't make a fool out of me

Oh-oh-oh-oh
I wouldn't do anything different
Oh-oh-oh-oh
You're just the thing that I needed

Thank you for being such a liar
Thank you, I really do admire
How you hurt me in a million ways
Never taking one bit of blame
Thank you for telling me I'm nothing
Bad news, you never saw it coming
When you told me I was something to waste
Baby, you were lighting the flame, flame, flame
Baby, you were lighting the flame, flame

Don't tell me you're sorry
Now you're the one who's falling down
I'm getting enjoyment
Watching you come back crawling now (oh)

Thank you for being such a liar
Thank you, I really do admire
How you hurt me in a million ways
Never taking one bit of blame
Thank you for telling me I'm nothing
Bad news, you never saw it coming
When you told me I was something to waste

Funny, you really thought my fire would fade
But baby, you were lighting the flame
