Cheated, ain't lied, broken so bad You made a vow, never get mad You played the game, oh it's unfair They're all the same, who could compare? First you lose trust, then you get worried Night after night, my rafter club Dropping like flies, who woke you up? On the front lawn, sprinklers turned 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 did not deserve? 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, it'll be right Call it a dawn, 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 did not deserve? Wait around forever when you were there first First you get hurt, then you feel sorry You're going silent, silent dreaming It's not inviting, now don't deny what you mean You get excited, you get excited You gotta feel it, or at least you can pretend You wanna light it, you wanna light it You wanna light it, now a 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 did not deserve? 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 did not deserve? Wait around forever when you were there first You wanna light it, you wanna light it You wanna light it, now a candle from both ends You wanna light it, now a candle from both ends
