She's Kerosene Lyrics

I'm a match, she's kerosene
You know she's gonna burn down everything
She's an arsonist in her pastime
And I've been burned for the last time
Time, time, time, woah
I've been burned for the last time
Time, time, time, woah
I've been burned for the last time (woah huh)

It started out like any other morning
The sky was red, he took it as a warning
She kicked the hive now the bees are swarming
Then played the victim 'til the crowd starts forming
She's got a history of making a scene, yeah
She's telling stories, she's gaslighting like
He's the executioner and she is the queen
And he's the one whose neck is in the guillotine, he said

The smoke clears out and he's been awakened
He said this life could be mine for the taking
She needs a drink so she starts shaking
And played the victim til his heart starts breaking
No real tears cause she don't mean it
This landscape used to be so scenic
And he could make it out if he could dream it
Rising up from the ash, he's a phoenix

You play with me, you're playing with fire
You play with me, you're playing with fire

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.

the guy loves her and she's toxic for him but he can't stop going back. he is addicted to her and he can't leave. she is the victim to him even when he knows she's wrong. he loves him and she has basically become his puppeteer. it's important to note "this landscape used to be so scenic." she wasn't always like this. at one point what they had was purely love and passion but it's turn into something far different.
