Push away everything that's dear to me

Watch as they all fall down

No losses left to cut

Lost every one of them

Threw the fight for the attention

Now my wounds need tending

Made my mistakes, yeah

But will I ever learn

I still play with matches

And bridges still burn

Never the early bird

Always the worm

I guess I'll just wait my turn

Down, down

Yeah, I feel so blue

I fucked it all up again

Just like I always do

Down, down

Yeah, I slip away

Watch as I flush it all

Straight down the drain

But it's all the same

I played with my matches

And I set my whole world ablaze

Well, life upped its ante

And I played to lose

I tossed all my chips in

And I folded too soon

I bet all my peace of mind

Yeah, I went for broke

Just leave me to lie here and decompose

Down, down

Yeah, I feel so blue

I fucked it all up again

Just like I always do

Down, down

Yeah, I slip away

Watch as I flush it all

Straight down the drain

But it's all the same

I played with my matches

And I set my whole world ablaze

Down, down

Yeah, I slip away

Watch as I flush it all

Straight down the drain

Gotta find a way

To get up again

Gotta find a way

God, there must be a way

To get up again

Down, down

Yeah, I feel so blue

I fucked it all up again

Just like I always do

Down, down

Yeah, I slip away

Watch as I flush it all

Straight down the drain

Watch as I flush it straight down the drain

Straight down the drain

But it's all the same

I played with my matches

And I set my whole world ablaze
