lyrics

You strike the match and light the flame
To burn it all down
From the first time you turned away to desensitise
If only we could go back to the start to a time more alive
A time where we could thrive
If I'd seen this set in motion I'd have offered a hand or a plan to help you escape
But the abuse had taken its toll
But I was far too late
You were consumed by hate

And I can't cope with what you've done
So take a good long look at yourself
And understand the lie that you've come to hide
And if I had it my way
We'd go back in time and realise
What it means to feel alive

Now I can't breathe
I've said it over again
Over again
You're killing yourself
You know that I can't believe the pain you've put me through

I've tried to tell you all along
That the path you are on
It doesn't end with a way to cope
And now you're out of hope
You claw for your cure
They say we burn in hell for our sins
But now you're at death's door

And now you're gonna throw it all away
Just to medicate yourself again
But you should know it never works
So don't act surprised when your empire falls

'Cause at the root of it all
I'll be right there just to witness your fucking downfall
And now the pyre ignites
You'll scream in terror as the fire consumes your life

You need to be strong
Why can't we move on

I hope this will be over
And I know that it ain't easy
To move forwards
Why can't we move forwards
And I'm waiting for some closure
Maybe one day you will understand
We need to open our eyes
And realise what it means to be alive

Now I can't breathe
I've said it over again
Over again
You're killing yourself
You know that I can't believe the pain you've put me through

If I'd seen this set in motion
Would you have thrown it away?
