Oh, you never gave a damn about me

Till I had something you needed, oh

What you may not understand about me

Is I won't hesitate to let you go

You had your chance to tell the truth

You knew the right thing to do, yeah

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?

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

You had (had) your chance (chance) to tell the truth

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?

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

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?
