start the fire (make it out alive) [2nd version]

 Start The Fire

I can't believe I stayed here for so long

Hiding my eyes behind my smile

Everyone told me that I should go

But I didn’t listen

For so long

But I'll thank you for something

After all you put me through

My friends stayed by my side

It really opened my eyes

 

 I've learned from my mistakes

And got the burns to keep me awake

So just listen to me scream this song

And know time heals everything

And I know now

YOU FIND YOU’RE JOY IN PAIN

 

Too late, too late

Open eyes see through your lies

You tried to keep me here to die

But I'm getting better at this game,

JUST TRY TO GET IN MY WAY

Too late, too late

I won't bother placing blame

I’ve wasted too much time so far

Nothings gonna stop me leaving you

 

The sunlight is shining, it's blinding my eyes

Bouncing of the silver showing from all the knives

In the backs of everyone who ever trusted you

I’m no different but my wounds are healing

How does it feel to be running out of targets?

You set fire to all your “friends”

Are you ready to be alone in the ashes?

YOU’RE STILL THE SAME

YOU WON'T EVER CHANGE

 

Too late, too late

Everyone can see straight through you

We won't give you the chance again

We won't give you our backs

Too late, too late

I should have seen it before now

All the times I defended you

You chewed me up and slowly spat me out

 

SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY I EVER LEFT

BUT THEN I REMEMBER

HOW IT FEELS TO LIE WITH EVERY SMILE,

I TAKE THE BLAME, IT WAS THE CHOICES I MADE

IT WAS UP TO ME TO OPEN MY EYES

But I kept quiet for so long

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN TO SHUT UP

And listen to me scream this song

 

Too late, too late

Everyone can see straight through you

We won't give you the chance again

We won't give you our backs

Too fake, two faced

You can stay here on your own

Now that we’ve learned

We’re moving on

Just let me strike this match and

START THE FIRE, I’LL WATCH YOU BURN

To make sure you don’t get out alive

I'll  START THE FIRE, I’LL WATCH YOU BURN

To make sure you don’t get out alive

I’ll START THE FIRE, I'll WATCH YOU BURN

TO MAKE SURE YOU DONT GET OUT ALIVE
