Firebreather Songtext
von Randall Shreve

Hey! It′s been a while. You been okay?
Strange running into you
Oh god! You drink here too?
Hey! What was that you used to say?
That I wasn't strong enough?
Well, look how you made me tough
With all the terrible things you used to say and do

Now I′m a fire breather. I'm a mean mis-treater
I stand ten feet tall when my back's to a wall
I′m a heartache dealer, a lover and a leaver
I′m a war with no truce
I had nothing left to lose but you


Hey! What the hell am I supposed to say?
Oh, did you want a lie?
Well, look, I've got one standing by
Oh! I died the day you went away
Forgive me my lively smile
Oh, girl, it′s been a while
I'm the one who made you
You′re the one who never knew

Now I'm a firebreather. I′m a mean mis-treater
I stand ten feet tall. I don't miss you at all
I'm a heartache dealer, no longer a believer
I′m a war with no truce
I had nothing left to lose but you

Hey! I thought of you again today
And I hope I run into you
′Cause goddamn, I'll say it too
Oh! Why are you so far away?
Think of me once a day
And burn til you fade away
