lyrics

I burn matches, not for candles but to start a fire in our house.
And I start fights not for conversations, but to make up for resentment inside.
And we lie close but not close enough to ever end a fight to ever shed some light.
And if you told me you were winning, I'd say you were right.

And though I want to be simple to love but I'm always so complicated.
And our hearts weren't warm enough for me, so I'll remain outside in the cold.
Yeah, I'll stay cold for you.
And you can stay warm in there.
See I was never good enough so I say, "That I'm the only man who could stay cold forever."

Cause you were just another blunt and I was an addict.
Then we burnt matches, not for candles, but to burn down every song.
And I'd overreact and blow up my spot and strike matches just to try and get one spark, and I'd become the one who just broke their heart and so easily we remember that every part is burned away.

And though I want to be simple to love but I'm always so complicated.
And our hearts weren't warm enough for this, so I'll remain outside in the cold.
Yeah, I'll stay cold for you.
And you can stay warm in there.
See I was never good enough so I say, "That I'm the only man who could stay cold forever."

Cause I don't need fire to feel. And hell hath no angels that aren't real.
And if my heart was a liar then your eyes could kill while I burn and I burn and I burn.

Cause you found something that's worth fighting for in the heart of everything I'm screaming for.

And I thought I was dieing for you.
But that was my only good trait.


And though I want to be simple to love I'm always so complicated.
And no heart is strong enough for kerosene, so I'll remain outside in the cold.

So I don't burn you down.
