Lirik Watch It Burn oleh Katy Perry:

For years, you fed me only crumbs

You paid me only dust

Said I was too hard to love,

Oh oh oh

For years, I tried to rise above

Was only light and love

But now I'm, "Shut the fuck up,"

Oh oh oh

You know I gave and I gave

Now I'm giving up

There's nothing more you can take

No, I don't want to cause a scene

But give me the gasoline

Tonight's the night, I light a match

Throw it hard behind my back

Gonna try to forgive and forget

Light a cigarette, and watch it burn

With the past, I'ma breathe in the ash

Gonna try to forgive and forget

Light a cigarette, and watch it burn

Thank you for showing me the pain

This was not a mistake

The mistakе would be to stay

You know I gave and I gave

Now I'm giving up

Thеre's nothing more you can take

No, I don't want to cause a scene

But give me the gasoline

Tonight's the night, I light a match

Throw it hard behind my back

Gonna try to forgive and forget

Light a cigarette, and watch it burn

With the past, I'ma breathe in the ash

Gonna try to forgive and forget

Light a cigarette, and watch it burn

I'm gonna get what I deserve

I'm sorry, I know that it hurts

Finally I put myself first

And watch it burn

I'm gonna get what I deserve

I'm sorry, I know that it hurts

Finally I put myself first

And watch it burn
