I could light my clothes on fire to rid them of the smell of your cologne or I could singe my palms for every time you held my hand, but still made me feel alone I could strike a match against my collar for every time you cursed my name or burn my fingertips on worn down lighters and let them swallow me in flames I could let the ashes douse my passions and let the fumes dance up towards heaven in the sky And if God asked why you were crying, you'd say the smoke got in your eyes I hope my name burns you, just like you burned mine I hope it hurts you I hope you hurt
