Light the fuse and pray Count your fingers as the blessings that they are Because someone's burning down tonight and it's not me So close to the edge Here's to second chances that no one ever asked for Here's to second chances no one ever wanted Here's to the marks the hiding of scars The maps that remind us to take it too far The apologies spoken through spit and the blood The cracking of teeth The ugliest truth just beneath the skin It's words or save your breath, air or error, holding on too tight Sorry you had to see that, the way my hands would shake Thought I was the stronger one, we all make our mistakes If there's one thing I can't stand, it's written all over your face You could have been most anything, but honest wasn't one You can't stand the sound of your own voice and I don't blame you All those thoughts inside your head and none of them can save you On and on and on again Such a pretty wish, such a sweet mistake Hold your hand into the fire and we'll hope that it won't light
