[Pre-Chorus]
I set myself on fire just to give you light
[Verse 1]
Burned out, strung along
Taking your abuse so I can write these songs
Pull on through, Keep keeping on
Holding my tongue so I can right these wrongs
[Pre-Chorus]
I set myself on fire just to give you light
[Chorus]
You're like the backseat driver on a runaway train
And I can't keep going on this way
The Jack in my Coke don't help the pain
Baby don't let me go down
Down in flames
[Verse 2]
Where we going? I don't know
It's too dark to see the road
Light a candle baby, show me the way
I'll figure things out one of these days
[Pre-Chorus & Chorus]
[Bridge]
I'll carry on
I'll move along
My heart's full of doubt
I'm burning out
[Chorus and Alternate Chorus]
And you're like the backseat driver on a runaway train
And I can't keep going on this way
The Jack in my Coke don't help the pain
Baby don't let me go down
Down to that same old place we been going to
Night after night trying to make it through
Till you left me there lying on the ground
Tonight we're burning down
Down in flames
Down in flames
Down in flames
