Kerosene Lyrics

I’m waitin’ on the sun to set cause yesterday aint over yet
I started smoking cigaretts there’s nothing else to do I guess
Dusty roads aint made for walking, spinning tires aint made for stoppin’
I’m giving up on love cause love’s given up on me

I gave it everything I had and everything I got was bad
Life aint hard but it’s too long to live it like some country song
Trade the truth in for a lie, cheating really aint a crime
I’m giving up on love cause love’s given up on me

Forget you high society, I’m soakin’ it in Kereosne
Light ‘em up and watch them burn, teach them what they need to learn HA!
Dirty hands aint made for shakin’, aint a rule that aint worth breakin’
Well I’m giving up on love cause love’s given up on me

Now I don’t hate the one who left You
He’s out there holding on to someone, I’m holding up my smoking gun
I’ll find somewhere to lay my blame the day she changes her last name
Well I’m giving up on love cause love’s given up on me
Well I’m giving up on love HEY love’s given up on me

The last lines in the song fit beautifully...

Red, now you know those last lines don't "fit beautifully." What would your g/f say if she saw what you wrote. (Hint: she wouldn't be too too happy with your cute lil' arse.) I like the artist. I like the song. But, man, you're gonna be with your significant other this afternoon and tonight, so those lines in NO WAY fit your fun life. Geesh...you're hilarious sometimes. Don't "dazzle" me with bull poop, please. "A" for effort, though, which is why I adore you. You are a subborn lil' bugger who never gives up......

Whoa,You talkin' to me? I don't swing that way baby. :) But if I did have a B/f- "HE" would hafta admit that they do fit. No I gotta long standing date with bills and laundry. Now enough t.m.i. about me... Have a Great day! I think Miranda is a great songwriter...

It's just a nice song too hear.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's about a reallllly angry lady and defunct love affair. :|

This is such a good song. I hated her first single, Bring Me Down, and Me and Charlie Talking was okay, but this is a really good song and she has such a pretty voice.

this song is the country version of "You Oughta Know" :-P

It's pretty obvious what it's about: the guy cheated on her then proceeded to leave her for this new fling. When this happens to someone, it makes you not want to be in a relationship

Does it mean something that my ex chose this song to be his designated ringtone on my phone...and then he did EVERYTHING the guy in the song did?

This is the BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the part were she says "I don't hate the one who left you can't hate someone's that dead!" X]

This is a great song. I love the beat to it too. I just makes you want to tap your feet or get up and dance. I agree, I love the line "I don't hate the one who left, you can't hate someone who's dead." So true....

awesome song :) everytime i hear it i have to turn it real loud.

obviously the meaning is about her exboyfriend and he cheated on her and well, she's just getting her revenge.

i'm givin' up on love, cuz love's givin' up on me!

I love this song. Everytime I hear it, I turn it up and sing along. My favorite part is "Forget you high society, I’m soakin’ it in Kereosne Light ‘em up and watch them burn, teach them what they need to learn HA! Dirty hands aint made for shakin’, aint a rule that aint worth breakin’ Well I’m giving up on love cause love’s given up on me" So powerful.
