lyrics

Stand up for yourself, above everyone else. Because now you'll figure out what it means to be yourself. Because I can't save you.
I catch you when you fall. What will you do when it all comes crashing down and i'm not there? I can't always answer your prayers. So, strike a match and burn away. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. We're all the same in different ways, so say goodbye to this today.
You treat me lovingly, then you turn your back on me. I don't mean to be rude, but I can't fake this if it's true. I am leaving.
I catch you when you fall. What will you do when it all comes crashing down and i'm not there? I can't always answer your prayers. So, strike a match and burn away. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. We're all the same in different ways, so say goodbye to this today.
I can't take this anymore. Won't you just let go. I won't let you stand on me no more. Won't you just let go.
I catch you when you fall. What will you do when it all comes crashing down and i'm not there? I can't always answer your prayers. So, strike a match and burn away. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. We're all the same in different ways, so say goodbye to this today.
