Cold hands, sore feet You've been walking for an hour on abandoned streets Weak knees, and fresh scars It's a struggle when you're losing track of who you are The words you stole won't save your soul They can only buy you time Light a candle, or curse the dark It's all the same to me Start a fire, or drown the spark And shake away the heat Tell the truth or live a lie Just don't close your eyes Let down, and so spent You've been holding up the world with your good intent Help out, like you should It's a burden that you never really understood But Caroline, I'm doing fine It's the others who are dying
Light a candle, or curse the dark It's all the same to me Start a fire, or drown the spark And shake away the heat Tell the truth or live a lie Just don't close your eyes And you're breaking But you're faking nothing's ever wrong And concealing what you're feeling Always standing strong But you don't need To act like you don't bleed When you come falling down Cuz there is no healing when you're not feeling Anything at all Light a candle, or curse the dark It's all the same to me Start a fire, or drown the spark And shake away the heat Tell the truth or live a lie Just don't close your eyes
