Kerosene Songtext
von David Ryan Harris

I don′t know how she deals with her conscience
Knowing she's slowly killing a man
The bottle′s got my fingerprints on it
But she's still got my blood on her hands
Even if she don't know
She is the reason I′m here
Looking for the stronger stuff
Bartender fill my cup

It′s how I keep hope alive
And keep the fire going inside
I'm sipping this kerosene
Until she comes back to me


Yeah, we had a love like a candle
But I blew out the flame
I can be a hard one to handle
Even when there′s a hurricane
But even if she don't know
She is the reason I′ll be right here
'Til closing time
Drinking it until I′m blind

It's how I keep hope alive
And keep the fire going inside
I'm sipping this kerosene
Until she comes back to me
It burned my tongue a little at first
But the heartbreak I feel is worse
Now it′s my favorite drink
The poison tastes good to me
So won′t you bartender please
Pour another kerosene

I'm never letting go
Never letting go of what we had
Oh, you know it′s burning my mind
I'm looking for my hope
In the bottom of a shot glass


You know that it′s how I keep hope alive
And I keep the fire going inside
I'm sipping this kerosene
Until she comes back to me
It burned my tongue a little at first
But the heartbreak I feel is worse
Now it′s my favorite drink
The poison tastes good to me
So won't you bartender please
Pour me another kerosene
