[Verse 1]
I have something I'm afraid of
The answer to my problems
A reason to not be fucked up anymore
The truth is, I don't want to change
I guess I'm happy with my damaged ways
I hate the water, but I like the sound when the ice breaks

[Pre-Chorus]
We are the common folk
We live our lives to die alone
And share our beds when the nights get cold

[Chorus]
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
All I wanted was to be someone
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
I don't want no empty seats
When they lower me down
(All you wanted was to burn out young)
I wanna care when the lights go out
[Verse 2]
Nicotine sweats and coffee breath
I thought there was so much more than this
When I look back at everything I've touched
I see the lives I've ruined in each fingerprint

[Pre-Chorus]
We are the common folk
We live our lives to die alone
And share our beds when the nights get cold

[Chorus]
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
All I wanted was to be someone
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
I don't want no empty seats
(All you wanted was to burn out young)
When they lower me down
I wanna care when the lights go out

[Bridge]
We can't sleep, we can't dream
We are miming in the choir
We can't sleep, we can't dream
We are miming in the choir
We can't sleep, we can't dream
We are miming in the choir
We can't sleep, we can't dream
We are miming in the choir
[Outro]
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
All I wanted was to be someone
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
I don't want no empty seats
When they lower me down
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
(We can't sleep, we can't dream
We are miming in the choir)
(All you wanted was to burn out young
But the feeling is gone
And you can’t get it back now)
I wanna care when the lights go out
All I want is to be someone
I don't want no empty seats
When they lower me down
(We can't sleep, we can't dream
We are miming in the choir)

I have something I'm afraid of
