Ou told me, it’s better to burn out than fade away. You struck a match and I watched you burn
Why can’t you see what you do to me? Why can’t you stay?
As I watched you burn I learn that life’s not fair and that no one cares,
or maybe that’s just what it seems like when every night I feel the pain that
I’ll have to say goodbye
You told me, it’s better to burn out than fade away. You struck a match and I watched you burn
Why can’t you see what you do to me? Why can’t you stay with me?
Terrified of what’s to come. I’m just another fatherless son. Father,
what have you done?
I know I could have been a better son
You left but you’re not done with me. It’s better to burn out than fade away
Light it up, burn it down from the inside out
You won’t feel a thing when you hit the ground
Burn it, burn it down. Watch me drown
I can’t fake this, take this so burn it down
You told me, it’s better to burn out than fade away. You struck a match and I watched you burn
Why can’t you see what you do to me? Why can’t you stay with me?
Well some say that there’s an abandoned church in Hell that never burns down
Rest in peace said the preacher as he fed my father to the ground
Thinking of all my past regrets
Sometimes I burn a cigarette and close my eyes, and pretend that you’re still
hear
Where do I go from here, when you disappear. You’re gone, gone, gone
All of the things I should have done, I could have been a better son
Forgive me father for what I’ve done
