You struck the match and I lit the fuse And I think we both know what this is coming to Bury the hatchet might be what they say But don't you worry, we'll fight another day I broke the olive branch and you shot the dove And I hit right back with a push and a shove You slithered round, you choked a boy of love I held that resentment for what it was worth I gotta heart full of pain A head full of hurt I'm living so low my life is covered in dirt I gotta soul full of shame You fingered the blame I'm livin' so low my life is shattered and in flame You're blinded by your own hypocrisy Well you may fool your lovers but you don't fool me I could've been a model son But out of spite I chose the needle as my gun What a waster is what I see I read that from the way that you look at me But don't worry now Ma 'cause we are through And there lies the truth between me and you I gotta heart full of pain A head full of hurt I'm living so low my life is covered in dirt I gotta soul full of shame You fingered the blame I'm livin' so low my life is shattered and in flame You threw me to the dogs and you threw me to the flames A condemned man, I detest my own name You poisoned my heart with your lies and, your lies and your games The years have passed and the storm has blown through The sky's no longer grey I don't think of you What a story this has been to tell I needed your love but you put me through hell It came at a price, you had a good run You showed your true colours to the Prodigal Son F*ck your crown of thorns you've been exposed Your love was nothing more than a paper rose I gotta heart full of pain A head full of hurt I'm living so low my life is covered in dirt I gotta soul full of shame You fingered the blame I'm livin' so low my life is shattered and in flame
