Lyrics
Hammer to the heart
Drive the point right through
Steel in soft pine and I’m losing you
Can’t find the fix
Can’t stop the falling apart
If we could pull it all together
Make it work somehow
Love and anger
Why did we ever vow:
for worse, for poorer
For sickness, ‘til death do us part
Go ahead, light it up
We know how to set ablaze what’s left of us
Come on baby, I’ve got a match
Light it up, light it up
Had your back ‘til you didn’t have mine
Not the way you tell it – you’re probably right
It’s a loser’s bet when your money’s on hearts in the game
Now someone’s screaming, someone’s crying
Someone in the next room hears love dying
Cheap motels oker so much to set aflame
Go ahead, light it up
We know how to set ablaze what’s left of us
Come on baby, I’ve got a match
Light it up, light it up
You got things left unsaid
Tired and mad, flashing red
Drop the spark and watch the flames climb high
