First (Demo)
Cheated and lied, broken so bad
You made a vow, never get mad
You played the game, though it's unfair
They're all the same, who can compare?
First you get hurt, then you get worried
Night after night, bar after 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 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
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 wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now
The candle from both ends
You get excited, you get excited
You gotta feeling, oh 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
First you get close, then you get worried
First you get close, then you get worried
You made a vow, never get mad
You played the game, though it's unfair
They're all the same, who can compare?
First you get hurt, then you get worried
Night after night, bar after 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 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
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 wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now
The candle from both ends
You get excited, you get excited
You gotta feeling, oh 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
First you get close, then you get worried
First you get close, then you get worried
