lyrics

i'm choking on debris
i'm crawling on my knees
i'm bloody and bruised
and now it's no use
i'm so sorry
for how i treated you

(pre-chorus)
please just listen, you don't have to speak
please just hear this before you leave

(chorus)
i know i'm the villain
i didn't deserve the love i was given
so douse me in kerosene
strike a match, and set me free
it's the only way that we'll be clean
i hope you know
what this means to me

i'll give myself to the earth
maybe get dragged out to sea
bathe me in blue
tear me in two
i'm so sorry
is there anything i can do?

(pre-chorus & chorus)

and maybe it's time
to sever ties
and dry my eyes
i hope you're doing alright

i know i'm the villain
i know i'm the villain
i know i'm the villain
i know i'm the villain

i know i'm the villain

douse me in kerosene

strike a match
