Lyrics

don't light the match (dyed black 2010)

[Verse 1]

White lie in a wedding dress

An invitation to my mess

Talk shit, it ain't your fault

I said "I'm sorry" ten more times

You set fire to my lines

Gossip and alcohol

[Pre-Chorus]

I take back the sex and drama

Karma

[Chorus]

So don't light the match, no

You're only gonna find smoke

Believe me, I'm changing

You're losing your patience

Don't light the match, oh

It's better that you don't know

Believe me, I'm changing

You're waiting and waiting

So don't light the match

[Verse 2]

When did we get so delicate?

Like ash on a cigarette

Silent in your dеfense

And I know it was painful for you then

Now I'm burning for my sins

Toxic in prеsent tense

[Pre-Chorus]

I take back the sex and drama

Karma

[Chorus]

So don't light the match, no

You're only gonna find smoke

Believe me, I'm changing

You're losing your patience

Don't light the match, oh

It's better that you don't know (Don't know, don't know)

Believe me, I'm changing

You're waiting and waiting

So don't light the match

[Bridge]

Eye to eye with all our scars, and

We are who we are now

We are who we are

Eye to eye with all our scars, and

We are who we are now

We are who we are

[Chorus]

So don't light the match, no

You're only gonna find smoke

Believe me, I'm changing

You're losing your patience

Don't light the match, oh

It's better that you don't know

Believe me, I'm changing

You're waiting and waiting

So don't light the match
