Gasoline
Lyrics:
[English]
Hold on, close your eyes
Let them walk in, let them walk in
Take your chemicals, load your gun
'Cos I won't be there holding your trembling hand
The lights won't guide you home
'Cos you're burning your house down
The lights won't guide you home
'Cos you're burning your bridges down
If it's what you want - I will be there
Pouring gasoline
If it's what you need I will breathe in
I'll breathe your gasoline
Stop running now
Stop playing those games 'cos we both know
You're on the losing side
Used to be friends - but in the end
I won't there wiping tears from your eyes
The lights won't guide you home
'Cos you're burning your house down
The lights won't guide you home
'Cos you're burning your bridges down
If it's what you want - I will be there
Pouring gasoline
If it's what you need I will breathe in
I'll breathe your gasoline
Don't tell no lies
Like saying you're alright
'Cos I know your mind plays tricks at nights
If it's what you need I will breathe in
I'll breathe your gasoline
...
