Wish I could take an ax and chop my memory  to pieces
And grind it into bits so all the pain deceases
Then spread it in the sun and let it rot to fertilizer
The kids could all play on my lawn and they’d be none the wiser
They’d think the world was sweet and that people were kind
They’d never have to know what you did to my mind

I liked the way you looked and I liked the things you said
But i needed you like a hole in the head
You were cruel, baby, you were mean
I was on fire, and you were gasoline

Now I can’t shake it, can’t leave it behind
The memories are termites in the timbers of my mind
I try to forget but it’s hard to do
I wish I could dismember my memories of you
You were cruel, baby, you were mean
I was on fire, and you were gasoline

I liked the way you looked and I liked the things you said
But i needed you like a hole in the head
You were cruel, baby, you were mean
I was on fire, and you were gasoline

You Were Gasoline

Family’s not always what you hope
Sometimes you feel loved, sometimes you don’t 
First love just has a way of sinking in 
The lessons that you learn become your skin 

My love is old 
My love is tired
My loves been told
Too many lies 

So can I rest 
Inside your heart 
Cause my love needs
Somewhere that’s safe to fall apart 

Cause stories never really come to end 
There’s always room for rewrites and amends
And one thing that I know is that I want things to be different
So maybe,  oh my love, you could lend me some assistance

My love is old 
My love is tired
My loves been told
Too many lies 

So can I rest 
Inside your heart 
Cause my love needs
Somewhere that’s safe to fall apart

You Were Gasoline
