Lyrics

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 turn 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 re-write 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 feeling, or 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 You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends First you get close, then you get worried You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends First you get close, then you get worried 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 You wanna light it, you wanna light it You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
