I sit outside as we get drunk again
It's the story of my life
And it gets easier each time
I watch the memories fall away again
Into the graceless hands of time
And let the hours pass me by
And every night my faith is shaken
Every drink I lose my mind
Every cigarette is a candle burned
A heartbeat set on fire
Every star is just a pinprick
In the corner of my eye
So many questions left unanswered
Some please just tell me
Why don't we let this go and fade into the night?
We could just burn out and leave it all behind
We're only chasing safety and we'll never make it home
So just take this life and leave it alone on the empty road
I sit outside and count the stars again
It's the story of my life
And it gets easier each time
I see the faces of the ones I love
And the ones who I don't know
And watch their eyes turn to stone
And every night my faith is shaken
Every drink I lose my mind
Every cigarette is a candle burned
A heartbeat set on fire
Every star is just a pinprick
In the corner of my eye
So many questions left unanswered
Some please just tell me
Why don't we let this go and fade into the night?
We can just burn out and leave it all behind
We're only chasing safety and we'll never make it home
So just take this life and leave it alone on the empty road
Let the rainclouds follow me home
You will never know the places I've gone
You can't stop me from trying to do this alone
Cos I've never been lonely when I'm on my own
I will be my own saviour when all's said and done
I will be my own saviour when all's said and done
