When you don't have a lighter

How do you do when you don't have a lighter?
When you have to walk by yourself
Down the street, I saw a girl
I think she might be the one

How do you do when you don't have a lighter?
When you figure out that the saddest thing about time
Is that you forget the feeling of love
That you forget what's like to see a dove

Flying in the sky, showing you the path
That tells you "You'll be fine once"
Don't bother
You're killing yourself

How do you do when you don't have a lighter?
When the sky's gray and the rain won't stop pouring
On your shoulders broken by the heads
Which have rested on them so long and have rusted

How do you do when you don't have a lighter?
When you know that they're all gone
That you can't even bring back memories
From the time when you were happy

And they tell you to forget, all right
But you can't cos you remain jaded
By the centuries
Of suffering

How do you do when you don't have a lighter?
When the wind has to smolder your cigarette
It's just a stick between your lips
Freeing you from a long slow death

How do you do when you don't have a lighter?
When tears are real and laughs are fake
And your whole life seems to be a mistake
C'mon stand up, you're a fighter

Stuck in an infinite battle
Against love, ripping you off
But it's okay
"You'll be fine once"
