Can't even begin to explain This all-too-well-familiar pain
It comes and it goes But it gets in my bones always then
Well, maybe I'm a fool for falling in love with you
When I had nothing left to lose And nothing more I could give
Went down with your sinking ship Now I don't think I'll make it through
Through
Now it's only the beat of my heart That reminds me not to stare at the sparks
Can't set fire to my soul Just to keep you, keep you, keep you from burning alone
Cause the longer you convince me to stay Our salvation's slipping further away
Can't set fire to my soul Just to keep you, keep you, keep you from burning alone
Forget everything we've come to expect It only serves to further up with our hate
And I don't wanna pretend This will all be alright in the end
So maybe now instead of balancing on the edge We could put this to bed for good
Can call it quits or we're sinking with this broken ship But I don't think we'd make it through
Through
Now it's only the beat of my heart That reminds me not to stare at the sparks
Can't set fire to my soul Just to keep you, keep you, keep you from burning alone
Cause the longer you convince me to stay Our salvation's slipping further away
Can't set fire to my soul Just to keep you, keep you, keep you from burning alone
I wish I could stay, I wish I could lie Do whatever it takes to get you through the night
I can't be the one, I can't take the fall Can't go up in the flames to keep your body warm
Now it's only the beat of my heart That reminds me not to stare at the sparks
Can't set fire to my soul Just to keep you, keep you, keep you from burning alone
Cause the longer you convince me to stay Our salvation's slipping further away
Can't set fire to my soul Just to keep you, keep you, keep you from burning alone
