light the fuse and pray   count your fingers as the blessings that they are   because someone's burning down tonight and it's not me   so close to the edge   here's to second chances that no one ever asked for   here's to second chances no one ever wanted   here's to the marks the hiding of scars   the maps that remind us to take it too far   the apologies spoken through spit and the blood   the cracking of teeth   the ugliest truth just beneath the skin   it's words or save your breath, air or error, holding on too tight   sorry you had to see that, the way my hands would shake   thought I was the stronger one, we all make our mistakes   if there's one thing I can't stand, it's written all over your face   you could have been most anything, but honest wasn't one   you can't stand the sound of your own voice and I don't blame you   all those thoughts inside your head and none of them can save you   on and on and on again   such a pretty wish, such a sweet mistake   hold your hand into the fire and we'll hope that it won't. . . light
