Striking Matches

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I walk the world by myself

I got this soul that I can’t sell

Casting stones again like you want

Like the empty heart left in my chest

I'll leave you here, I’m too far gone

This is moving on

I don’t wanna be (I don’t wanna be)

I don’t wanna be the reason you can’t feel anymore

I can’t see you

I can’t breathe

In the back of your car

You made me believe

I’m the failure, and the disease

I’m the con to your score

Just a pawn on your board

I walk the world by myself

Striking matches just to watch them burn

I’ve got a soul that I can’t sell in hell

I’m running out

I can’t see you

I can’t breathe

In the back of your car

You made me believe

I’m the failure, and the disease

I’m the con to your score

Just a pawn on your board

I’m the con to your score

Just a pawn on your board

Just a pawn on your board

I don’t wanna be (You don’t have to be)

I don’t wanna be this man anymore

I can’t see you

I can’t breathe

In the back of your car

You made me believe

I’m the failure, and the disease

I’m the con to your score

Just a pawn on your board

I’m the con to your score

Just a pawn on your board

Just a pawn on your board

I walk the world by myself

I got this soul that I can’t sell
