Does it have to start with a broken heart
Broken dreams and bleeding parts
We were young and the world was clear
Young ambition disappears
I swore it would never come to this
The average, the obvious
How I'm still discontented down here
I'm still discontented
If we've only got one try
If we've only got one life
If time was never on our side
Then before I die I want to burn out bright
So a spark ignites in time and space
Limping through this human race
You bite and claw your way back home
But youre running the wrong way
The future is a question mark
Of kerosene and electric sparks
Theres still fire in you yet
Yeah theres still fire in you
If we've only got one try
If we've only got one life
If time was never on our side
Then before I die I want to burn out bright
Bright
I keep cleaning up the mess Ive made
I keep cleaning up the mess I've made
I won't run away
I cant sleep in the bed Ive made
I can't sleep in the bed I've made
If we've only got one try
(We've only got one try)
If we've only got one life
(We've only got one life)
If time was never on our side
(Time was never on our side)
Then before I die I want to burn out bright
