lyrics

I gotta get my life moving ahead
I'm leaving the past in the past
And I don't want to see those ghosts again
Is that really too much to ask?
I'm walking away and I'm striking a match

I never knew how it could feel
Walking away from everything
Leave it behind
I'm not turning back
I'm setting fire to everything
In the life I used to know

Everybody ends up with mistakes
But some of us needed to learn
I could either hold on to the pain
Or burn down the old universe
I'm walking away and I'm letting it burn

I never knew how it could feel
Walking away from everything
Leave it behind
I'm not turning back
I'm setting fire to everything
In the life I used to know

Some things I cannot forget
The love, the pain, the great regret
Of all the things I should have said
But my life goes on

Feeling fire on my back
Bridges I burned down are bathing in ash

I never knew how it could feel
Walking away from everything
Leave it behind
I'm not turning back
I'm setting fire to everything
In the life I used to know
I'm setting fire to everything
I'm setting fire to everything
In the life I used to know
