[burningexample]

 
i used to be such a burning example
i used to be so original

i used to care, i was being cared for
made sure i showed it to those that i loved

i used to sleep without a single stir
because i was about my fathers work

take me out tonight
this ship of fools i'm on will sink
i'm my own stone around my neck
be my breath, there's nothing i wouldn't give

i used to pray like god was listening
i used to make my parents proud
i was the glue that kept my friends together
now they don't talk and we don't go out

i used to know the name of every person i kissed
now i've made this bed and i can't fall asleep in it

take me out tonight
this ship of fools i'm on will sink
i'm my own stone around my neck
be my breath, there's nothing i wouldn't give

throw me that lifeline
this ship of fools i'm on will sink
i'm my own stone around my neck
be my breath, there's nothing i wouldn't give

save my life tonight
this ship of fools i'm on will sink
i'm my own stone around my neck
be my breath, there's nothing i wouldn't give
