For years
You fed me only crumbs
You paid me only dust
Said I was too hard to love
Oh oh oh
For years
I tried to rise above
Was only light and love
But now I'm shut the fuck up
Oh oh oh
You know I gave and I gave
Now I'm giving up
There's nothing more you can take, no
Don't wanna cause a scene
But give me the gasoline
Tonight's the night
I light a match
Throw it hard behind my back
Gonna try to forgive and forget
Light a cigarette
And watch it burn
With the past
I'ma breathe in the ash
Gonna try to forgive and forget
Light a cigarette
And watch it burn
Thank you
For showing me the pain
This was not a mistake
The mistake would be to stay
You know I gave and I gave
Now I'm giving up
There's nothing more you can take, no
Don't wanna cause a scene
But give me the gasoline
Tonight's the night
I light a match
Throw it hard behind my back
Gonna try to forgive and forget
Light a cigarette
And watch it burn
With the past
I'ma breathe in the ash
Gonna try to forgive and forget
Light a cigarette
And watch it burn
I'm gonna get what I deserve
I'm sorry I know that it hurts
Finally I put myself first
And watch it burn
I'm gonna get what I deserve
I'm sorry I know that it hurts
Finally I put myself first
And watch it burn

"We need to support Katy this era. Shes giving it her all"

"Thanks Katy. Every lead single is special for me, because you made special. ❤🎉 I love you."

"Katy finally went back to her original pop rock roots and found herself again thank you for this masterpiece"

"perfect is the music, visuals, her voice, the sound but she hides in this song something so profound wrapping past in melody burned it to the ground so the message she is giving can travel around"

"She's burnt from the explosion in "Bandaid" gas station, the story continues 😍😍"

"This song is what pop music is all about! Deep lyrics but still good music! Old pop 2000s music is back ❤"

"Katy, you are one of the reasons for younger me, in my 10's, during Teenage Dream era falling in love with your craft, becoming one of my teachers indirectly, cause I'm a Brazilian and a self-taught person learning English through your music and pop music in general. I can't wait for you to be back in Brazil again, appreciating our love for your art. 143, Katheryn! And watch it burn 🖤🔥🔥"

"It would be so ironic but iconic if her next album was called "Scorpion""

"It has a very retro, old-school, 2000s vibe to it; I didn't regret watching and listening to the whole thing. 🤗"

"i just realized this is the part 2 of bandaids mv"
