[Verse 1]

Trying to create something that's not there

A spark I saw as a bomb is just a means to an end

And I was just so happy to be out of my shell again

Don't think that I really cared for who or what

So for now I'll just have to keep it shut


[Pre-Chorus]

If you're not ready, you're not ready

Please stop acting like you are


[Chorus]

How could I know

That everything you say are lies

About devotion and desire?

And I know the spark

Inside your eyes was just the match

I used to set myself on fire


[Verse 2]

My mouth's shooting blanks

Situation's unbearable

I've gotten vulnerable

Now anyone is free to waltz right in

My temple's been invaded

And there's nobody guarding it

All over this lonely life

But what's so wrong with being all alone?

Alone's the only way I've ever known


[Pre-Chorus]

If you're not ready, you're not ready

Please stop acting like you are


[Chorus]

How could I know

That everything you say are lies

About devotion and desire?

And I know the spark

Inside your eyes was just the match

I used to set myself on fire


[Guitar Solo]


[Bridge]

And I'm pleading

'Cause this kills and

It's still bleeding

My darling

I'm taking

My life back

To start healing


[Chorus]

How could I know

That everything you say are lies

About devotion and desire?

And I know the spark

Inside your eyes was just the match

I used to set myself on fire


[Outro]

Set myself on fire
