Playing with Fire

I used to think the love I'd given you'd be yours to keep
Now I'm not sure anymore of that or anything
How far would you have let me go
Falling on your sword
And calling it my own

You said you would blow our embers if I ever tired
Said we'd build together so that we could both fly higher
Four years dreaming
Now you're leaving me in all the ash and smoke
What a joke
Just so you could play with fire

And I was ride or die, I had you at every turn
Top of mind, depth of heart
In every part you let it burn
How long would you have let me go
Carving myself out
And calling it your home

You said you would blow our embers if I ever tired
Said we'd build together so that we could both fly higher
And like Sisyphus
I kept pushing this
And calling it love I never had
What was that and where were you
Playing with fire

I was hanging on all along
While you were getting bombed in every bar round town
Then deleting texts with your ex
And telling me my nightmares were unfounded
But I see you clearly now that you're not near me
And hell if I can't get back my time but we both know
You were striking matches from a box that I designed

How far would you have let me fall
Giving you everything
Giving it my all
And if I never found out would you have let me know
How long would you have let me go
