you broke my heart and i blamed myself (now watch as i burn)

i thought you were too good to be true.
i was right.

i lie in the dark
memories dampening my cheeks
knowing i did nothing wrong
but desperately searching
for reasons it could be my fault
so i could be the solution.

now i stand inside your house
you are alone, asleep
you do not know i am here
i hold a match in my hand.

part of me was always gone
and you killed what was left of me
i am already dead.
so i watch the terror on your face
as i strike the match
and burn us to the ground.
