lyrics

It's all okay when you're playing it safe
Alone on a Saturday afternoon
When it's raining and they're all claiming to know,
What it it is that you said you would do.

And it's all going well, you've got no one to tell
That the walls have got ears and they talk
About how you're losing your friends, and how you've got the bends
And now it's Sunday all over again.

And I'm not gonna keep the light alive,
And I'm not gonna keep the light alive,
And I'm not gonna keep the light alive,
Anymore.

And it's been a while, it's heaped in a pile
About to burn with the autumn leaves
As the sun's going down over Bleed-Out Town
And you just want to sink into the ground,

And I'm not gonna keep the light alive,
And I'm not gonna keep the light alive,
And I'm not gonna keep the light alive,
Anymore.

And I'm telling you, I'm telling you this is the last time
And I'm telling you, I'm telling you this is the last time,

And I'm not gonna keep the light alive,
And I'm not gonna keep the light alive,
And I'm not gonna keep the light alive,
Anymore.
