You said "Who are we fooling?" I guess that you gave up On all that I am and all that I'm not 'Cause I'm fucking useless And full of excuses I guess that you cut free From all that we are, and we'll never be Now the flowers are dead, like the hearts in our chest And I'm hanging my head 'cause I'm trying to forget How we bled, and we bled, and we bled, and we bled So this is where we ended up All of those years that I wasted for love And here it is, forevermore The house is on fire, and I can't find the door If I had the heart to start it again I'd stamp out the sparks in my own self-defence Say, you ain't gonna like how this ends You know if we went back To fix what we once had There'd still be no chance For you and me 'cause inevitably All the flowers would die and the tears from your eyes Would come as no surprise as I tried to forget How we bled, and we bled, and we bled, and we bled So this is where we ended up All of those years that I wasted for love And here it is, forevermore The house is on fire, and I can't find the door If I had the heart to start it again I'd stamp out the sparks in my own self-defence No, you ain't gonna like how this ends Broken with no way to mend No, you ain't gonna like how this ends I'm stuck here just trying to forget How we bled, and we bled, and we bled, and we bled So this is where we ended up All of those years that I wasted for love And here it is, forevermore The house is on fire, and I can't find the door If I had the heart to start it again I'd stamp out the sparks in my own self-defence Say, you ain't gonna like how this ends

Wake up in the morning, another night spent alone Crying over this woman that I used to call my own Going down to the city, just tryin' to spend some time Looking for a friend or a bottle to ease my worried mind I'm tired of seeing the same old place I'm tired of being out on my own Wake me when the sun will shine again Tell me how long 'til the rain ends Going down this road again, I know I've been there before This path of misery, I won't take it anymore Ain't gonna be led down, no I won't be gone astray Gonna let my soul shine like the old man used to say I'm tired of seeing the same old place I'm tired of being out on my own Take me where the sun will shine again Oh, tell me how long 'til the rain ends Don't let your hate bring you down Gotta spread some lovin' sometimes When the people all around act like nothing's gonna change Always tryin' to walk down the line Just keep your head in the clouds When you're feeling like a bird on a wire Sometimes you gotta go, gotta ease your mind and soul Gotta spread your wings, let your spirit fly Oh, let it fly, let it fly, let it fly I'm tired of seeing the same old place I'm tired of being out on my own Wake me when the sun will shine again Oh, tell me how long Tired of seeing the same old place Tired of being on my own yeah Wake me when the sun will shine again Oh, tell me how long 'til the rain ends

So nevermind Guess I'll just see myself out now Take my winter coat and hang it out To dry, by my own bed We'll never change Doesn't matter if we act our age Skip the funeral and walk away And learn, from our mistakes We're building on the back of Machine gun fire Filling up the yard with our Slip joint pliers Searching for a song that Can soothe us Acting like we've nothin' to lose Until it all burns down The golden state Was all we knew until It washed away But we'll pretend that it'll be okay And wave from the jet bridge And when it ends We'll be happy that we Had the chance To glimpse a life, To know that we exist To take all we wanted We're building on the Back of machine gun fire Filling up the yard with Our slip joint pliers Searching for a song That can soothe us Acting like we've Nothin' to lose Until it all burns down We're building on the Back of machine gun fire Filling up the yard with Our slip joint pliers Searching for a song That can soothe us Acting like we've Nothin' to lose Until it all burns down
