My mistakes have been many
my lessons even more,
restlessness has tormented my soul
like it has a revolving door.
I find myself reflecting on
times of my spoiled youth,
I realize how broken I was,
That is not an excuse.
I can't go back and undo the past,
sadly, life has no rewind,
How do I convince you to keep our souls entwined?

(Chorus) I used to be the gasoline
you were once the fire,
now there's only embers left of what you once desired.
I know what I ask of you is more than I deserve, what we had was broken, so I'm not looking for what we were.
I used to be the gasoline, you were once the fire
Now there's only embers left of what you once desired.

I know from my past experience,
idle hands do the devils work
I've learned to see the dangers
In where my demons lurk.
So I keep myself busy, my mind is occupied,
putting up guardrails to avoid a backslide

(Repeat Chorus )

They say hurt people-hurt people,
I know that to be true,
I need to make it clear, I never meant to hurt you.
There are several things in my life, I'm willing to lay down,
Just say the word and I'll make it happen
to keep your love around.

(Repeat Chorus)

Oh I used to be the gasoline -
And you were once the fire
