Kerosene - David Ryan Harris

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

It’s how I keep hope alive

And keep the fire going inside

Sippin' this kerosene

Until she comes back to me

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

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

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

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
