Townsend - matches Lyrics
Official




I'm laying here staring at a thin roof
While I'm waiting for the weight of it to fall thru
Go a day without a fight call it a breakthrough
You say it's not your fault but I got 80 proofs
Messing with my head
It's delicate the way we're dancing
Spinning out till we can't stand again
Dressed up in a bed
Too afraid to take it off
And too ashamed to say we're lost
That's what it is
And now we're burning down
This haunted house
With chemicals
That coat our mouths
And we been running out
Of borrowed time
About to overdose
With your hand in mine
You say
I don't understand
I don't care about anyone but myself
Then you turn around
And start lashing out
And then tell me that I can't help
Now we're burning down
And it makes me sick
That I can't let go
Of the matches that I never lit
I tried to decompress the burden that you lifted
While I was crushing under mine that I kept hidden
And when I told you I lost hope you didn't listen
You just over spoke and wrote it off as fiction
Replaying in my head
Words worth
Twice as what you meant
Truth hurts
And its what you never said
Dressed some fake love up in a bed
And impressed yourself into my dreams
And now we're burning down
This haunted house
With chemicals
That coat our mouths
We been running out
Of borrowed time
About to overdose
With your hand in mine
You say
I don't understand
I don't care about anyone but myself
Then you turn around
And start lashing out
And then tell me that I can't help
Now we're burning down
And it makes me sick
That I can't let go
Of the matches that I never lit
Burning down
This haunted house
And I can't let go
Of the matches that I never lit
Hard to hate when it's all that you miss
