You should've known
I wasn't good at holding onto fragile things
'Cause when you met me everything was broken
Hearts and guitar strings
Right before tour
You slid a ring on my finger as if it would keep me
From sticking them in places you wouldn't want them to go
Hold on, or go on
Don't let me be the rope
That keeps you hanging on
You should let go
'Cause we don't know
If I can be the stable ground that you stand upon
It's funny how 'I love you' never turns out as good as it sounds
But there's a chance that our love's one worth saving
When will I learn
Still striking matches as I watch this city burn
When everything comes crashing down
Will you be waiting
Will you still be waiting
Whether the storm
We flicker just like candles left out in the rain
It's so dark and cold
If you leave I don't if I'll find my way
I'm drinking shots of memories
Chase them with regret that consumes me
And I just can't seem to drink enough
To stop this constant burn
Hold on, or go on
I'll never be all you want
Only who I am
It's funny how 'I love you' never turns out as good as it sounds
But there's a chance that our love's one worth saving
When will I learn
Still striking matches as I watch this city burn
When everything comes crashing down
Will you be waiting
It's not too late
Oh, not too late
To change our ways and come back from the edge
It's not too late
Oh, not too late
Together we can learn to love again
It's not too late
Oh, not too late
The road we lead has not yet reached the end
It's not too late
Oh, not too late
Together we can learn to love again
It's funny how 'I love you' never turns out as good as it sounds
But there's a chance that our love's one worth saving
When will I learn
Still striking matches as I watch this city burn
When everything comes crashing down
Will you be waiting
