 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 you’re running the wrong way

 The future is a question mark

 Of kerosene and electric sparks

 There’s still fire in you yet

 Yeah there’s 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 I’ve made

I keep cleaning up the mess I've made

I won't run away

I can’t sleep in the bed I’ve 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
