[Verse 1]
Like the light was all I had
I struck the book with my last match
The candle burned so soft and slow
I felt the warmth and felt its glow
[Verse 2]
Salt-tasting tears, they roll off of my lips
One for each day I'm inside this house, it's a trap
One I can't quite escape so pretend it's the place that I love
Won't let it pass me by again
Won't let it pass me by again
[Verse 3]
The grass was clipped
The summer sun was beating down on my front yard
All the boys and girls would laugh
I'd watch them through the curtain's crack
[Verse 4]
Place all your bets and watch me lose
The life that I got but never used
I dream every night that one will come true
But only bad ones ever do
Like the light was all I had
I struck the book with my last match
The candle burned so soft and slow
I felt the warmth and felt its glow
[Verse 2]
Salt-tasting tears, they roll off of my lips
One for each day I'm inside this house, it's a trap
One I can't quite escape so pretend it's the place that I love
Won't let it pass me by again
Won't let it pass me by again
[Verse 3]
The grass was clipped
The summer sun was beating down on my front yard
All the boys and girls would laugh
I'd watch them through the curtain's crack
[Verse 4]
Place all your bets and watch me lose
The life that I got but never used
I dream every night that one will come true
But only bad ones ever do
