lyrics

God knows I didn't need anything
I just wanted to be with you
Sometimes I felt like an acrobat
Swinging round and out of view
And you should know
I'm letting go

Strike another match
Toss it on the bridge
Watch it burn and laugh at it
I can't believe my eyes
The panic and the sting
So much pain in pretty things

You thought that you were exceptional
For a second so did I
This kind of love is not rational
Out of body, Out of mind
And you should know
I've let you go

Strike another match
Toss it on the bridge
Watch it burn and laugh at it
I can't believe my eyes
The panic and the sting
So much pain in pretty things

When you lie awake at night
Do you try not to sleep
Cause when you dream you see me?

Strike another match
Toss it on the bridge
Watch it burn and laugh at it
I can't believe my eyes
The panic and the sting
So much pain in pretty things
So much pain in pretty things
So much pain in pretty things
