Bringing Us Down

I'm looking at the candles I have burnt

Wondering if a brighter one will come

The past is gone

when you look into the dark

How I long to go back to the start

Will you spare me some integrity

in this game of cards

Will you give me a bit of sympathy

for the tired hearts.

And Something 's bringing us down

Trying to turn things around

And something's bringing us down

You know and I know we're running out

Someone should have told me life was hard

Keeping it from tearing us apart

You're out, I'm spent

We're not getting very far

We both forget to remember who we are

Will you give me a bit of sympathy

for the tired hearts.

And Something 's bringing us down

Trying to turn things around

And something's bringing us down

You know and I know we're running out
