[Verse 1]
They baked me a cake, but I only ate a slice
The time after that, I only licked the icing
I know I deserve what was made just for me
I let them blow the candles out, the wish I'll never be
[Chorus]
So I set myself on fire to keep other people warm
Putting myself first, no I was never informed
Oh I set myself on fire to keep other people warm
[Verse 2]
So I strapped on my helmеt and I cycled down the hill
The gravеl hit my shins, but I let the pedals spin
Tyres roll along the earth, for a moment we are one
The road then fell away and your thoughts of me were done
[Chorus]
So I set myself on fire to keep other people warm
Putting myself first, no I was never informed
Oh I set myself on fire to keep other people warm
[instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Maybe it was the bike, the bolts that fell apart
Never the road at all, just my people-pleasing heart
Next time I'll take a slice, maybe two or three
And I'll save the rest for breakfast, and even I'll be pleased
[Outro]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
