lyrics

You forgot about the backup key
You didn't change the code
Forgot about it just like me
You just let us go
I'm going through the albums
I see you tore me out
I'm draining the liquor cabinet
Into my obstinate mouth

I saw an ad for my guitar
You have been keeping it captive.
I trashed the place until I found it
in the dirty attic
Into the bedroom
I light up all the candles
I throw them in the sheets now
Where you've been with your new habit

Now I'm sitting by the fire with what's left of the whiskey
And the first guitar that you ever bought me
We built it
You stole it
And now I'm burning it all down
I can't wait 'til you get home
I'll be sitting right here warming up my bones
It's just so
Unlike me
Well I guess I'm an arsonist now

I neglected to call The fire department
Grabbed nothing on my way out
Took my front and center
Best seat in the house
I can hear the sirens are far enough away
By the time that they get here
there'll be nothing left to save

And I'll be sitting by the fire with what's left of the whiskey
And the first guitar that you ever bought me
We built it
You stole it
And now I'm burning it all down
I can't wait 'til you get home
I'll be sitting right here warming up my bones
It's just so
Unlike me
Well I guess I'm an arsonist now

Nosey neighbors and Crime scene investigators don't seem to understand
I didn't destroy your life I just destroyed your home
So you got off easy
