i was sick and tired of feeling
without reciprocation, of giving everything
i've got and ending up with nothing in return

so i packaged up all of my feelings
for you in a neat little box and set
it on the side of the road

i drove as far away from them
as i could in hopes of
escaping this hold on me
you've got

but that wasn't enough
so i returned to that same
spot in the road
where i had left the box
and i took a set of matches
and gasoline
and i lit it on fire

hoping to burn you out

every issue encountered, i'd just
set it on fire.
Any time I have a problem, my sister tells me to just set it on fire.
