The speaker expresses the pain of being undervalued and the ultimate decision to let go of the past through a symbolic act of burning bridges to prioritize their own well-being and healing.
For years, you fed me only crumbs
You paid me only dust
Said I was too hard to love
For years, I tried to rise above
Was only lying in love
But now I'm shut the **** up
Oh
You know I gave and I gave
Now I'm giving up
There's nothing more you can take
No, don't wanna cause a scene
But give me the gasoline
Tonight's the night
I light a match
Throw it hard behind my back
Gonna try to forgive and forget
Light a cigarette and watch it burn
With the past
I'mma breathe in the ash
Gonna try to forgive and forget
Light a cigarette and watch it burn
Thank you
For showing me the pain
This was not a mistake
The mistake would be to stay
You know I gave and I gave
Now I'm giving up
Take
No, don't wanna cause a scene
But give me the gasoline
Tonight's the night
I light a match
Throw it hard behind my back
Gonna try to forgive and forget
Light a cigarette and watch it burn
With the past
I'mma breathe in the ash
Gonna try to forgive and forget
Light a cigarette and watch it burn
I'm sorry, I know that it hurts
Finally, I put myself first
And watch it burn
I'm gonna get what I deserve
I'm sorry, I know that it hurts
Finally, I put myself first
And watch it burn
