[Verse 1]
When I met you I was young
Thought that anything could happen
Said you'd give me the world
While you dressed me in plastic pearls
When I met you I was fun
Now you'll never see me laughing
I took you at your word
When you said what you wanted was me
[Pre Chorus]
Ohhhh
I wouldn't do anything different
Ohhhh
You're just the thing that I needed
[Chorus]
Thank you, for being such a liar
Thank you, I really do admire
How you hurt me in a million ways
Never taking one thing to blame
Thank you, for telling me I'm nothing
Bad news, you never saw it coming
When you told me I was something to waste
Baby you were lighting the flame
[Verse 2]
Now you see me doing well
Bet you're crying to your mother
And I hope that you learn
That you can’t make a fool out of me
[Pre Chorus]
Ohhhh
I wouldn't do anything different
Ohhhh
You're just the thing that I needed
[Chorus]
Thank you, for being such a liar
Thank you, I really do admire
How you hurt me in a million ways
Never taking one thing to blame
Thank you, for telling me I'm nothing
Bad news, you never saw it coming
When you told me I was something to waste
Baby you were lighting the
[Post-Chorus]
Flame
Flame
Flame
Baby you were lighting the
Flame
Flame
[Bridge]
Don't tell me, you're sorry
Now you're the one who’s falling
Down
I'm getting, enjoyment
Watching you come back crawling
Now
[Chorus]
Thank you, for being such a liar
Thank you, I really do admire
How you hurt me in a million ways
Never taking one thing to blame
Thank you, for telling me I'm nothing
Bad news, you never saw it coming
When you told me I was something to waste
Funny, you really thought my fire would fade
But baby you were lighting the
Flame
