The only way you know how

You give it up just to get it back
it won't work, but keep trying
Fiddle around with your friends
until they leave you
So you can say
"I knew you would deceive me"
It's what you want
It's all you want

You're playing with matches,
without lightening them
And when they break,
you feel ashamed
Your clumsy fingers can't handle
these tender figurines of the past

Run it to the ground and burn it,
burn it well
It's the only way you know how
