Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I shined your shoes
I poured the wine
I gave you all of my time
I patched your dents
Smiled at your friends
Which, apparently, is a crime
[Chorus 1]
I gave you space
You took my place
And gave it to her
But life's too long to waste it all loving a liar
And when love hands me matches now
I'm going to burn it down
[Verse 2]
I keyed her car
Got my guitar
And wrote this damn song
Look what you've found
She's been around
I hear the line's long
[Chorus 2]
And don't you tell me to be nice
I'm not a nice girl
She died from complications
Of the things you told her
So when love hands me matches now
I'm going to burn it down
[Bridge]
Ain't it funny, you said, "Honey"
You meant sitting duck
Well, I say, "Cheater, liar, truck on fire
Loser, leaver, deceiver"
Just a few I've thought of
[Chorus]
And when love hands me matches now
Going to burn it down
I'm going to burn it down
Oh, yeah
Going to burn it, burn it, burn it down
Matches, now
