Call me a liar, I've set my heart to self destruct Call me a sinner, we might as well be twice as f**ed Some say you're better off dead when you've got a dark cloud hanging over your head And I've never seen the rain, but the cloud's getting closer every day Set me alight, burn brightly young one Set me alight, God knows, we need this one Set me alight, I want to see you light up like fireworks Set me alight, love like hell, come undone Haven't got enough spark to light up your eyes, let alone set the world on fire Just a kid with a match and a will to watch it all burn brighter than his heart's desire Lived a life with a dormant heart, unaware of the forecast
They said that the rain wouldn't last, but many days have pa**ed and the water's rising fast I've got the devil digging my grave in the backyard, I try not to watch but it's hard when every single hour you fall apart like a work of art in the dark On your knees in the dirt, and it's back to the start Like the candle melts, love wanes and lacks, while it doesn't feel, we're not made of wax Got a heart like a burnt out wick lost between times subtle ticks Strike a match and we'll watch it burn, rest a**ured you'll get your turn, we're starting fires like we'll never learn I know that you still carry a flame, but will it light the way on your darkest days?
