[Verse 1]
Oh, you never gave a damn about me
'Til I had something you needed, oh
What you may not understand about me
Is I won't hesitate to let you go
[Pre-Chorus]
You had your chance to tell the truth
You knew the right thing to do, yeah
[Chorus]
So, how can you turn and walk away from a fire you started?
I never owed you anything, no matter how you saw it
Blow your smoke as I go up in flames
Shame on me, thinking that you would save me
How can you turn and walk away from a fire you started?
[Verse 2]
Burn me down, burn me down, burn me down
Baby, that's how you leave me, ooh
You come around, come around, come around
And you tell me you need me
[Pre-Chorus]
You had (had) your chance (chance) to tell the truth
[Chorus]
So, how can you turn and walk away (Oh-oh-oh) from a fire you started?
I never owed you anything, no matter how you saw it
Blow your smoke as I go up in flames
Shame on me, thinking that you would save me
How can you turn and walk away from a fire you started?
[Bridge]
Oh, you never gave a damn about me
Oh, you know that's true
What you may not understand about me
Is I would never do the same to you
[Chorus]
So, how can you turn and walk away (Oh-oh-oh) from a fire you started?
I never owed you anything, no matter how you saw it
Blow your smoke as I go up in flames
Shame on me, thinking that you would save me
How can you turn and walk away from a fire you started?
