Firebreather

Hey! It's been a while. You been okay? Strange running into you Oh god! You drink here too? Hey! What was that you used to say? That I wasn't strong enough? Well, look how you made me tough With all the terrible things you used to say and do Now I'm a fire breather. I'm a mean mis-treater I stand ten feet tall when my back's to a wall I'm a heartache dealer, a lover and a leaver I'm a war with no truce I had nothing left to lose but you Hey! What the hell am I supposed to say? Oh, did you want a lie? Well, look, I've got one standing by Oh! I died the day you went away Forgive me my lively smile Oh, girl, it's been a while I'm the one who made you You're the one who never knew Now I'm a firebreather. I'm a mean mis-treater I stand ten feet tall. I don't miss you at all I'm a heartache dealer, no longer a believer I'm a war with no truce I had nothing left to lose but you Hey! I thought of you again today And I hope I run into you 'Cause goddamn, I'll say it too Oh! Why are you so far away? Think of me once a day And burn til you fade away
