When Fire Met Oil

never wanted to be alone all my life that's all it's been one big show of happiness one long trail of tears never wanting to be alone i pretend i'm all i need i've gotta be somebody,anybody, but myself i want to live each day as my last hoping i'd attract someone like you waiting all my life pretending i'm all that i need then you come into the picture that's when fire met oil burning my dreams to the ground into a pile of ash crashing what dignity i had i bit off more than i could chew as i brushed the ashes off just so i wasn't alone you've made a name for yourself that's one step up from being nobody now your the ******* that everyone's talking about the one that everyone's staring at now your the one alone and i'm standing in the crowd making a name for myself i'm not alone thanks to your hard lesson when fire met oil
