[Verse 1]

I spent the last year waiting

For a chance to get it right

But we both know that I'm the poster boy

Of failed attempts to try

I'm fucking sick of all the pressure

And all these voices in my head

So I'll douse these dreams in kerosene

And strike a match instead

[Chorus]

So light me up, make me burn like fire

God can you show me the way?

'Cause I've been gone for so long

Yet I can never escape

No

[Verse 2]

And I've been hiding from these mirrors

Because I'm terrified to see

Someone who's wasting all their time

It looks a lot like me

Maybe I stay awake at night

Sitting in the dark

Thinking "Maybe I could change the world

If I just had a spark."

[Chorus]

So light me up, make me burn like fire

God can you show me the way?

'Cause I've been gone for so long

Yet I can never escape

I'm just a thief

With the best intentions

Not enough luck

And too much ambition

[Bridge]

I've never been one

To learn from my mistakes

So burn this to the ground with me

'cause I know we all feel the same

I've never been one

To learn from my mistakes

So burn this to the ground with me

'cause I know we all feel the same

[Chorus]

So light me up, make me burn like fire

God can you show me the way?

'Cause I've been gone for so long

Yet I can never escape

So light me up, make me burn like fire

God can you show me the way?

'Cause I've been gone for so long

Yet I can never escape

I'm just a thief

With the best intentions

Not enough luck

And too much ambition

I can never escape!
