Kerosene

[Verse 1]
Don’t know how she deals with her conscious
Knowing she’s slowly killing a man
The bottle’s got my fingerprints on it
But she’s still got my blood on my hands
Even if she don’t know
She is the reason I’m here
Looking for the stronger stuff
Bartender fill my cup

[Chorus]
It's how I keep hope alive
And keep the fire going inside
Sippin’ this kerosene
Until she comes back to me

[Verse 2]
Yeah, we had a love like a candle
But I blew out the flame
I could be a hard one to handle
Idiot when there's a hurricane, baby
Even if she don’t know
She is the reason I’ll be right here
'Til closing time
Drinking it until I’m blind

[Chorus 2]
It's how I keep hope alive
And keep the fire going inside
I'm sippin’ this kerosene
Until she comes back to me
It burned my tongue a little at first
But the heartbreak I feel is worse
Now it’s my favorite drink
The poison taste good to me
So won’t you bartender please
Pour a another kerosene

[Bridge]
I’m never letting go
Never letting go of what we had
Oh, you know it’s burning my mind
Looking for my hope in the bottom of a shot glass

[Chorus 3]
You know that it’s how I keep hope alive
And I keep the fire going inside
I’m sippin’ this kerosene
Until she comes back to me
It burned my tongue a little at first
But the heartbreak I feel is worse
Now it’s my favorite drink
The poison taste good to me
So won’t you bartender please
Pour me another kerosene
