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?

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. Yeah, 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
