Can't Bring Myself To Light This Fuse
Rock Star Supernova Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the first time that I've written out your name
This is the last time that I'll ever feel the same
Maybe I said too much but I don't care
You're acting still like I'm not there

Run, but you can't hide
Fall, but on whose side?
I'm broken, so deadly
You're just the one to fix it
You're calling, it's early
That feeling
God I miss it
Don't want to live without
Don't want to sit this out
Don't want to know if it's the last time I'll breathe you in

Every word just turns a fire that you say
All I can do is light the fuse and walk away
But even I can't do that
I still back down
There's comfort in the silent ground
Run, but I can't hide
Fall, but on her side

I'm broken, so deadly
You're just the one to fix it
You're calling, it's early
That feeling
God I miss it
Don't want to live without
Don't want to sit this out
Don't want to know if it's the last time I'll breathe you in

I'm broken, so deadly
You're just the one to fix it
I'm calling, it's early
That feeling
God I miss it
Don't want to live without
Don't want to sit this out
Don't want to know if it's the last time I'll breathe you in

I'm broken, so deadly
You're just the one to fix it
I'm broken, so deadly
You're just the one to fix it
You're calling, it's early
That feeling, God I miss it





Don't want to know if it's the last time I'll breathe you in
