Something to Live For

She's moving like a forest fire

Leaving no part unscathed

Too young to be as jaded as I am

But old enough to feel the strain

I hope that I can hold onto

The beauty that I'll never match

Never ending open wound

That started from a simple scratch

Won't you save us from being saved?

Before we get too old and waste away

Like some lovers destined to die young

And sort through all the loss you've seen

The friends who sit and think too much

Too fragile for the cold outside

Too proud to say what's on their minds

This is for the broken fools

Whose frames have gone before their time

And if you see me trip and fall

Save me from the swift decline

I want to sink beneath a drunken sea

Look in your eyes when you take the breath from me

There's always something to live for
