cool summer night
no fourth of july
but in your eyes
i see fireworks
laid up by your side
under a very empty sky
guess it was my time
to learn how a liar works

ever explosive
swear you'll control it
and in the moment
i believe it
and of course you blow it
heart rebroken
trust eroded
guilt deep-seated
history repeated
you say i love you
and i think you mean it

flick of a match
fire licks the fuse
eating away whats left of it
about to get a special view

beautiful disaster
waiting to occur
waiting for the show
still trusting in your word

staring right at the light
naive to how this works
you get to have your fun
i get left hurt

a knocked over rocket
destroying everything in it's path
you did this on purpose
and you'll never take it back
