Well I used to make the fire
now I’m running out of flames
the closer I get the more it rains
and I won’t change everything to
have you back again
but I can’t keep everything the same

They say it won’t get harder
and I’m gonna be okay
but its just like me
to go against the grain
and while I’m tied to your shoestring
and I’m breaking from the strain
those damn things hold on chains
yeah those damn things
hold on like chains

was I ever really more than ordinary
did you ever see me
like I saw you
was I ever really more than ordinary
did you ever need me
like I need you now

well if I was a liar
I’d have a few more friends
the chances are my heart
would never mend
and even though my conscience would
come running back again
it doesn’t really hurt to pretend
no it doesn’t really hurt to pretend
