Perry Katy Meaning and Key Details

FOR YEARS

YOU FED ME ONLY CRUMBS

YOU PAID ME ONLY DUST

SAID I WAS TOO HARD TO LOVE

OH OH OH

FOR YEARS

I TRIED TO RISE ABOVE

WAS ONLY LIGHT AND LOVE

BUT NOW I’M SHUT THE FUCK UP

OH OH OH

YOU KNOW I GAVE AND I GAVE

NOW I’M GIVING UP

THERE’S NOTHING MORE YOU CAN TAKE, NO

DON’T WANNA CAUSE A SCENE

BUT GIVE ME THE GASOLINE

TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT

I LIGHT A MATCH

THROW IT HARD BEHIND MY BACK

GONNA TRY TO FORGIVE AND FORGET

LIGHT A CIGARETTE

AND WATCH IT BURN

WITH THE PAST

I’MA BREATHE IN THE ASH

GONNA TRY TO FORGIVE AND FORGET

LIGHT A CIGARETTE

AND WATCH IT BURN

THANK YOU

FOR SHOWING ME THE PAIN

THIS WAS NOT A MISTAKE

THE MISTAKE WOULD BE TO STAY

YOU KNOW I GAVE AND I GAVE

NOW I’M GIVING UP

THERE’S NOTHING MORE YOU CAN TAKE, NO

DON’T WANNA CAUSE A SCENE

BUT GIVE ME THE GASOLINE

TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT

I LIGHT A MATCH

THROW IT HARD BEHIND MY BACK

GONNA TRY TO FORGIVE AND FORGET

LIGHT A CIGARETTE

AND WATCH IT BURN

WITH THE PAST

I’MA BREATHE IN THE ASH

GONNA TRY TO FORGIVE AND FORGET

LIGHT A CIGARETTE

AND WATCH IT BURN

I’M GONNA GET WHAT I DESERVE

I’M SORRY I KNOW THAT IT HURTS

FINALLY I PUT MYSELF FIRST

AND WATCH IT BURN

I’M GONNA GET WHAT I DESERVE

I’M SORRY I KNOW THAT IT HURTS

FINALLY I PUT MYSELF FIRST

AND WATCH IT BURN
