My Match, Your Fire Lyrics

I can tell we don't belong
by the way you look in my eyes
i can bet you moved right on
baby cause i'm just another good bye
i can tell its over now before you ever said a word to me
you can take a final bow honey cause your act is like a 3rd degree

whoa you've struck the last match baby
you've got me burning
what did i do to deserve this burning
you bring me down when i'm all i've got
i never know cause my mind keeps turning
why oh why
you're only happy when i'm not

i can tell thats somethings wrong
by the way you look in my eyes
i can bet the warmth is gone cause honey your stare is like the black ice

cause you lit this fire
what did i do to deserve this burning
you bring me down when i'm all i've got
i never know cause my mind keeps turning
why oh why
you're only happy when i'm not

you've got me burning
you've got me burning baby

what did i do to deserve this burning
you bring me down when i'm all i've got
i never know cause my mind keeps turning
why oh why
you're only happy when i'm not

I can tell we don't belong 
by the way you look in my eyes
i can bet you moved right on 
baby cause i'm just another good bye
i can tell its over now before you ever said a word to me
you can take a final bow honey cause your act is like a 3rd degree

whoa you've struck the last match baby
you've got me burning
what did i do to deserve this burning
you bring me down when i'm all i've got
i never know cause my mind keeps turning
why oh why
you're only happy when i'm not

i can tell thats somethings wrong
by the way you look in my eyes
i can bet the warmth is gone cause honey your stare is like the black ice

cause you lit this fire
what did i do to deserve this burning
you bring me down when i'm all i've got
i never know cause my mind keeps turning
why oh why
you're only happy when i'm not

you've got me burning
you've got me burning baby

what did i do to deserve this burning
you bring me down when i'm all i've got
i never know cause my mind keeps turning
why oh why
you're only happy when i'm not

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Well this is the relationship album, eh?

I love the jazzy-ness of the final phrase in each line. Musically delicious. Then the guitars copy it by the chorus, nice.

My mom was like this with my dad once they were divorced. If he was happy, she wasn't. And no one deserves that. Never do this to another person, the hate just isn't worth it. Better to let them alone.
