His selfishness burned through everything she once offered. I'm known for using a pretty metaphor now and again lol, but I wanted to make this one straight to the point, and allow the genre to expand on these volcanic emotions. ------------ LYRICS: ------------ I gave you everything, you took it all from me. I wanted nothing more than reciprocity... Every time I reached for you, you reached for what I could give. You took my love for granted, and mistook me for someone who'd forgive I built you a universe, baby, and you burned it all down for warmth; now you bother to ask for forgiveness... you're far too, far too cold It's a pretty metaphor, but I'll tell you how it is: I built a life around you, always making space for you, pouring myself into you, until I erupted, a volcano, alone, in the aftermath of this fuckin' loveless inferno You burned through everything I offered, and it fueled the bridges you burnt. I held the fault lines together until I couldn't any more You kept taking, taking, taking I kept breaking, breaking, breaking... I gave you the sky. If you look up, the constellations are my time, my trust, my softness, my belief... You used it all up and fed my grief. It's a pretty metaphor, but I'll tell you how it is: [repeat x2] I built a life around you, always making space for you, pouring myself into you, until I erupted, a volcano, alone, in the aftermath of this fuckin' loveless inferno o
