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
