I want to burn out bright   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    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      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   Before I die I want to burn out   Before I die I want to burn out   Before I die I want to burn out bright    If time was never on our side    Then before I die I want to burn out bright
