Lighting the flame

Compositor: Lauren Spencer-Smith

When I met you I was young
Thought that anything could happen
Said you’d give me the world
While you dressed me in plastic pearls

When I met you I was fun
Now you’ll never see me laughing
I took you at your word
When you said what you wanted was me

Oh
I wouldn’t do anything different
Oh
You’re just the thing that I needed

Thank you, for being such a liar
Thank you, I really do admire
How you hurt me in a million ways
Never taking one thing to blame
Thank you, for telling me I'm nothing
Bad news, you never saw it coming
When you told me I was something to waste
Baby you were lighting the flame

Now you see me doing well
Bet you’re crying to your mother
And I hope that you learn
That you can’t make a fool out of me

Oh
I wouldn’t do anything different
Oh
You’re just the thing that I needed

Thank you, for being such a liar
Thank you, I really do admire
How you hurt me in a million ways
Never taking one thing to blame
Thank you, for telling me I'm nothing
Bad news, you never saw it coming
When you told me I was something to waste
Baby you were lighting the
Flame
Flame
Flame
Baby you were lighting the
Flame
Flame

Don’t tell me, you’re sorry
Now you’re the one who’s falling
Down
I'm getting, enjoyment
Watching you come back crawling
Now

Thank you, for being such a liar
Thank you, I really do admire
How you hurt me in a million ways
Never taking one thing to blame
Thank you, for telling me I'm nothing
Bad news, you never saw it coming
When you told me I was a new weight
Funny, you really thought my fire would fade
But baby you were lighting the
Flame
