Cheated and lied, broken so bad

You made a vow, never get mad

You play the game, though it's unfair

They're all the same, who can compare?

First you lose trust, then you get worried


Night after night, bar after club

Dropping like flies, who woke you up

On the front lawn, sprinklers turned on

It's not your house, where'd you go wrong?

First you get hurt, then you feel sorry


Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth

Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt

How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve

To wait around forever when, you were there first

First you get hurt, then you feel sorry


There comes a time, in a short life

Turn it around, get a rewrite

Call it a dark, night of the soul

Ticking of clocks, gravity's pull

First you get close, then you get worried


Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth

Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt

How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve

To wait around forever when, you were there first

First you get hurt, then you feel sorry


You're going silent, the silent treatment

It's not inviting now, don't deny what you meant

You get excited, you get excited

You got a feel it, oh, at least you can pretend

You wanna light it, you wanna light it

You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends

You get excited, you get excited


Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth

Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt

How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve

To wait around forever when, you were there first

Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth

Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt

How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve

To wait around forever when, you were there first


First you get close, then you get worried

First you get close, then you get worried

First you get close, then you get worried

First you get close, then you get worried


You wanna light it, you wanna light it

You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends

You wanna light it, you wanna light it

You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
