Light a match, watch the flame
Let it run through my name
I've got a mouthful of cigarettes
I don't make good choices when I'm desperate
Play a show, empty bar
Dry your tears in your car
Leave your soul on the stage where it's reaping
And nobody cares that you're leaving
Oh, nobody cares that you're leaving
Burning out like you said I would (I'm burning out)
Did everything, everything I could
I am a fire without any wood
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(I'm burning out)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I'll be dead by 23
'Cause my mind gave up on me
How do you get back on your own good side?
Oh I am just trying to stay alive
Oh, I am just trying to stay alive
I'm burning out like you said I would (I'm burning out)
Did everything, everything I could
I am a fire without any wood
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(I'm burning out)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(I'm burning out)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(I'm burning out)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Can you hear me screaming?
I'm charred from all this dreaming
My lungs are filled with smoke
I lost all my control
I'm burning out like you said I would (I'm burning out)
Did everything, everything I could (I'm burning out)
I'm burning out like you said I would (I'm burning out)
Did everything, everything I could
I am a fire without any wood
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(I'm burning out)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(I'm burning out)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(I'm burning out)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh ashes, oh ashes, oh ashes on the ground (I'm burning out)
Just ashes, just ashes, then we will all fall down (I'm burning out)
We're ashes, we're ashes, we're ashes on the ground (I'm burning out)
Just ashes, just ashes, then we will all fall down
