Lyrics:

[English]

Lips meet teeth and tongue

My heart skips eight beats at once

If we were meant to be, we would have been by now

See what you wanna see, all I see is him right now

H-h-him right now

I'll sit and watch your car burn

With the fire that you started in me

But you never came back to ask it out

Go ahead and watch my heart burn

With the fire that you started in me

But I'll never let you back to put it out

...

Your love feels so fake

My demands aren't high to make

If I could get to sleep, I would have slept by now

Your lies will never keep, I think you need to blow them out

(B-b-blow them out)

I'll sit and watch your car burn

With the fire that you started in me

But you never came back to ask it out

Go ahead and watch my heart burn

With the fire that you started in me

But I'll never let you back to put it out

7-4-2008, I still remember that, heaven sent a present my way

I won't forget your laugh, packing everything when you leave

You know you coming back, wanna see me down on my knees but that was made for a ring

I try to wait for the storm to calm down but that's stubborn, baby, leading to war

We droned down on each other, tryin' to even the score

We all been found guilty in the court of aorta

And I'll watch your car burn

With the fire that you started in me

But you never came back to ask it out

Go ahead and watch my heart burn

With the fire that you started in me

But I'll never let you back to put it out

Watch your car, watch your car burn

I won't forget your laugh

Go ahead and watch my heart, watch my heart burn

You know you coming back, you know you coming back

Watch your car, watch your car burn

(Go ahead and watch my heart, watch my heart burn)

Tryna even the score

Go ahead and watch my heart, watch my heart burn

Found guilty in the court of aorta
