[ Featuring Boys Like Girls ]
It took some time to see the writing on the wall
Spells out your name
Guess some wounds you gotta feel
I shoulder my share of the hurt
And through it all, I carry the blame
I need some time to go and heal
Tell you the truth, I'm taking a beating
Thinking of you, stuck in a feeling
'Cause I left without a look
Made an exit for the ages
Through a door that's still revolving in my mind
And I only kept the book
To set fire to the pages
Now I'm burning down the story of my life
Just to watch the fire
Wasting my life waiting for time
To heal the scars I gave to myself
Now I got bandages to change
I leave behind the mess I poured into my heart
Trying to fill up the well
Where the ghost of you remains
Show me the way
Give me some guidance
Something to say
Break up the silence
'Cause I left without a look
Made an exit for the ages
Through a door that's still revolving in my mind
And I only kept the book
To set fire to the pages
Now I'm burning down the story of my life
Just to watch the fire
Just to watch the fire
'Cause I left without a look
Made an exit for the ages
To go chasing down extraordinary lies
Yeah, and the memories you shook
Got me going through the stages
Now I'm digging up what I buried alive
Yeah, I'm burning down the story of my life
Yeah, I'm burning down the story of my life
Just to watch the fire
Just to watch the fire
Tell you the truth
I'm taking a beating
Thinking of you
Stuck in a feeling (just to watch the fire)
