First Lyrics
Cheated and lied, broken so bad
You made a vow, never get mad
You'll play the game, though it's unfair
They're all the same, who can compare?
First you lose trust, then you get worried
Night after night, bar after club
Dropping like flies, who woke you up?
On the front lawn, sprinklers turn on
It's not your house, where'd you go wrong?
First you get hurt, then you feel sorryFlying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather, when you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one?
I do not deserve to wait around forever, when you were there firstFirst you get hurt, then you feel sorry
There comes a time in a short life
Turn it around, get a rewrite
Call it a dark night of the soul
Ticking of clocks, gravity's pull
First you get close, then you get worriedFlying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve
To wait around forever when, you were there first
First you get hurt, then you feel sorryYou're going silent, the silent treatment
It's not inviting now, don't deny what you meant
You get excited, you get excited
You got a feeling, oh, at least you can pretend
You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
You get excited, you get excitedFlying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one?
I do not deserve to wait around forever when, you were there first
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt
How am I the lucky one?,
I do not deserve to wait around forever when, you were there firstFirst you get close, then you get worried
First you get close, then you get worried
First you get close, then you get worried
First you get close, then you get worriedYou wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
You wanna light it, you wanna light it
You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
