Yeah, you lit the match to all that we had
But it’s my choice to watch it burn
Now it’s all the same and you’re all to blame

So live out your will, I hope that it helps you

A minute of silence, I’ve learned to dismantle all my pride
The feelings are violent, Heaven and Hell both know I tried
Yeah, you lit the match to all that we had
But it’s my choice to watch it burn
Now it’s all the same and you’re all to blame
But it’s on me if this still hurtsAnd I finally think I found some hope
And I’m not afraid, afraid to let you go
You were the part of me that died
But I never mourned you, I never cried
