Let's be honest guys, no one can beat Alec. And I can't imagine how hard it was to release this song, it takes a lot for someone to admit they were wrong.

[OliSecond]

This feels like a continuation to If I killed someone for you..
this is my favorite one out of them all!

[Jambo_]

No one hums like Alec. Prove me wrong.

[jupiterdai]

I love being here for all the albums being released. 🥺

Alec Benjamin - The Arsonist [Lyric]

[Verse 1]
I threw away the evidence and every little trace
By now, it should be evident that I'm the one to blame
I own the conflagration, it was I who lit the flame
Then I flushed all of my matches down the drain

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I know there's no excuse for what I did
So the only thing I can do is admit

[Chorus]
I was the arsonist
The one who burned us to the ground after the argument
Set fire to the room with our hearts in it
And though I said that you're the one who started it
I started it
I was the arsonist
But now I'll make it up to you for all the darkness
For everything I put you through, let me start with this
I started it
Now I'll build back that room with our hearts in it
I was the arsonist

[Post-Chorus]
Um, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, dum

[Verse 2]
I'm siftin' through the rubble and the ashes all around
Liftin' with my shovel as it crashes through the ground
I'm reminded that the trouble, all the trouble that surrounds
Is my fault and I'm here to fix it now

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I know there's no excuse for what I did
So the only thing I can do is admit

[Chorus]
I was the arsonist
The one who burned us to the ground after the argument
Set fire to the room with our hearts in it
And though I said that you're the one who started it
I started it
I was the arsonist
But now I'll make it up to you for all the darkness
For everything I put you through, let me start with this
I started it
Now I'll build back that room with our hearts in it
I was the arsonist

[Post-Chorus]
Um, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, dum
I was the arsonist
Um, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, da
[Bridge]
I'll pay the fine, do the time, leave that person behind
Burn away the past and move past all my crime

[Chorus]
I was the arsonist
The one who burned us to the ground after the argument
Set fire to the room with our hearts in it
And though I said that you're the one who started it
I started it
I was the arsonist
But now I'll make it up to you for all the darkness
For everything I put you through, let me start with this
I started it
Now I'll build back that room with our hearts in it
I was the arsonist

[Post-Chorus]
Um, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, dum
I was the arsonist
Um, dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum, um, da-da, um, da

This song literally made me cry😭. This song holds so much pain and emotion. His voice is so powerful. ❤

[BTS_ot_Potterhead_ARMY]

Just when I thought he can’t become more diverse, he drops this song and love the one that leaves

[hildjey]

This one and "Pick Me" are definitely the Gems of the Album.
Love you Alec, since day 1 🧡

[sadchocolatae]

His angelic voice... Im in love with a song again ♡♡♡

[JJ.]

This song is absolutely beautiful. It made me cry. The idea you fucked up so hard that you feel like you burned it all down. Trying to then let it go and move one when you've hurt people it's hard to do that

[lennnyeatzzz]

Dude he's pumping out music so fast its crazy

[saniyahking]

Alec always upgrades my vocabulary and excitement 😁❤

[LoveLunaGood]

Alec lit a match in the rain... now he is the arsonist 😅

[ashleywashington]

This song is THE song for me of the whole album

[atransgoose]

This song being about his mother is so relatable to me and my mother, fav song in the album for sure.

[arabellehanson]

Fans that have been here from day 1💪 love the new album alec!

[zenthiat]

Every song of yours I get reminded why you're one of my favorite singer/songwriters. Beautifully done. So poetic, but so impactful! And the melody is lovely too!

[dudinharss]

the way ur lyrics hits different...
alec u are so underrated

[shadowrealm]

This song feels so different to me from your others. The pain feels so much more raw when its about your own mistakes, when you cant blame anyone else for how things went wrong and have to fix the things you broke. Its beautiful

[aleeadixon]

this and "pretending" go hand in hand I can not wait for the concert
