[Verse 1]
Well, there were seven years between us
Seems that all my friends were right
That we can't survive on your bedroom eyes
And a Spanish guitar
When we started this it was paradise
Not just Bethnal Green
And it's just not right this waiting game
Making a cuckold of me
[Chorus]
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
(If you need time)
[Verse 2]
And it's just not like me to lash out
But enough is enough
Tell me what the others can do
That I can't
Translucent and sun-bleached skin, yeah
When did you get so LA?
How can you desert me after
What we've been through?
[Pre-Chorus]
Stuck on a dream that somewhere it's better
You'll be the one missing out
[Chorus]
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
(If you need time)
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood (if you need time)
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
[Bridge]
If you need time, time, time
Time, time, time
[Chorus]
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
(If you need time)
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood (if you need time)
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting fire with firewood
I can be as cruel as you
Fighting lies with lies
[Outro]
Fighting lies with lies, with lies, with lies
Fire with, fire, fire with, firewood, wood
Lies, lies, lies, lies
