Ou told me, it's better to burn out than fade away. You struck a match and I watched you burn

Why can't you see what you do to me? Why can't you stay?

As I watched you burn I learn that life's not fair and that no one cares, or maybe that's just what it seems like when every night I feel the pain that I'll have to say goodbye

You told me, it's better to burn out than fade away. You struck a match and I watched you burn

Why can't you see what you do to me? Why can't you stay with me?

Terrified of what's to come. I'm just another fatherless son. Father, what have you done?

I know I could have been a better son

You left but you're not done with me. It's better to burn out than fade away

Light it up, burn it down from the inside out

You won't feel a thing when you hit the ground

Burn it, burn it down. Watch me drown

I can't fake this, take this so burn it down

You told me, it's better to burn out than fade away. You struck a match and I watched you burn

Why can't you see what you do to me? Why can't you stay with me?

Well some say that there's an abandoned church in Hell that never burns down

Rest in peace said the preacher as he fed my father to the ground

Thinking of all my past regrets

Sometimes I burn a cigarette and close my eyes, and pretend that you're still hear

Where do I go from here, when you disappear. You're gone, gone, gone

All of the things I should have done, I could have been a better son

Forgive me father for what I've done
