We were the lovebirds of Tennessee
And now you fucking hate me
Out on the road now, I'm living my dreams
But I miss you like crazy
Living the coast life, I'm finding my ceiling
Learning the hard way that hearts break easy
Couldn't have guessed everything that you needed
But I didn't think you'd leave me
You said that you would never set this house on fire
But you lied, you lied, you lied
You can strike another match and bat your eyelids
But I'll cry, I'll cry, I'll cry
As you're burning it down
I'm not leaving this house
Cause I tried, I tried, I tried
And you lied, you lied, you lied
I'm not trying to make you into something you're not
I wish we had that in common
There's different ways of coping with loss
At least my way is honest
You trampled over me with your friends
Just be careful who the shoe fits
You run away from the fire you lit
But I haven't forgotten
You said that you would never set this house on fire
But you lied, you lied, you lied
You can strike another match and bat your eyelids
But I'll cry, I'll cry, I'll cry
As you're burning it down
I'm not leaving this house
Cause I tried, I tried, I tried
And you lied, you lied, you lied
When you said it would be us forever (you lied)
When you said that we could make it better (you lied)
When you said you understood my letter
(You lied, you lied, you lied, you lied, you lied)
When you said it would be us forever (you lied)
When you said that we could make it better (you lied)
When you said you understood my letter
(You lied, you lied, you lied, you lied, you lied)
You said that you would never set this house on fire
But you lied, you lied, you lied
You can strike another match and bat your eyelids
But I'll cry, I'll cry, I'll cry
As you're burning it down
I'm not leaving this house
Cause I tried, I tried, I tried
And you lied, you lied, you lied
