Striking Matches Lyrics

Cover Your Tracks Striking Matches

[Verse 1]

I walk the world by myself,

I got this soul that I can't sell.

Casting stones again like you want,

Like the empty heart left in my chest.

I'll leave you here, I'm too far gone,

This is moving on.

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't wanna be (I don't wanna be),

I don't wanna be the reason you can't feel anymore.

[Chorus]

I can't see you, I can't breathe,

In the back of your car, you made me believe.

I'm the failure and the disease,

I'm the con to your score,

Just a pawn on your board.

[Verse 2]

I walk the world by myself,

Striking matches just to watch them burn.

I've got a soul that I can't sell

In Hell I'm running out.

[Chorus]

I can't see you, I can't breathe,

In the back of your car, you made me believe.

I'm the failure and the disease,

I'm the con to your score,

Just a pawn on your board.

(Oh oh oh whoa, Oh oh oh whoa).

I'm the con to your score,

Just a pawn on your board.

(Oh oh oh whoa, Oh oh oh whoa).

Just a pawn on your board.

[Bridge]

I don't wanna be (you don't have to be),

I don't wanna be this man anymore.

[Chorus]

I can't see you, I can't breathe,

In the back of your car, you made me believe.

I'm the failure and the disease,

I'm the con to your score,

Just a pawn on your board.

(Oh oh oh whoa, Oh oh oh whoa).

I'm the con to your score,

Just a pawn on your board.

(Oh oh oh whoa, Oh oh oh whoa).

Just a pawn on your board.

[Outro]

I walk the world by myself,

I got this soul that I can't sell.
