Ashes! Ashes!
The gust of wind blew out the candle flame
Cigarette butts pressed in the ashtray
I asked myself, "Who is to blame
Tonight, for you walking away?"
You didn't call, didn't pick up
Those first few days were really tough
Is this another one, of your fake break-ups?
But this time I say, "This is enough!"
If pain's the thing that stirs up your fire
Then you will get what you desire
(Didn't you know, I'm a pyromaniac!)
If pain's the thing that stirs up your fire
Then you will get what you desire
(Didn't you know, I'm a pyromaniac!)
You hurt me, now I take my turn
First, you cry, then bat your eyelashes
Our fire lives only while it burns
And when it dies, then it's just ashes! Ashes! Ashes!
I'll play your game if that's what it takes
Now I never call. Switch off my phone.
I'm telling you, you made a mistake
My backbone isn't your wishbone
You're back now, knocking on my door
Half-naked, saying you want to stay till morning
Somehow I let you in. What for?
Anything to keep that fire burning, burning!
If pain's the thing that stirs up your fire
Then you will get what you desire
(Didn't you know, I'm a pyromaniac!)
If pain's the thing that stirs up your fire
Then you will get what you desire
(Didn't you know, I'm a pyromaniac!)
You hurt me, now I take my turn
And things are changed all over sudden
We live only when we burn
The fire doesn't cast a shadow! Shadow! Shadow!
I know I'm better off to be alone
But I'm drawn to your fire and brimstone
Afraid it all would disappear
Smoke and mirrors! Smoke and mirrors!
If pain's the thing that stirs up your fire
Then you will get what you desire
(Didn't you know, I'm a pyromaniac!)
If pain's the thing that stirs up your fire
Then you will get what you desire
(Didn't you know, I'm a pyromaniac!)
You hurt me, now I take my turn
And things are changed all over sudden
We live only when we burn
The fire doesn't cast a shadow!
You hurt me, now I take my turn
First you cry, then bat your eyelashes
Our fire lives only while it burns
And when it dies, then it's just ashes! Ashes! Ashes!
Cigarette butts pressed in the ashtray
I asked myself, "Who is to blame
Tonight, for you walking away?"
You didn't call, didn't pick up
Those first few days were really tough

But this time I say, "This is enough!"
If pain's the thing that stirs up your fire
