 Dm
Trying to create something
            A#
that's not there
                   Dm
A spark I saw as a bomb is
F/A                A# A/C#
just a means to an end
    Dm
And I was just so happy
                 A#
to be out of my shell again
                   Dm
don't think that I really
      F/A
cared for who or what
       A#
So for now I'll just
        A/C#
have to keep it shut

   Dm
If you're not ready
A#
you're not ready
Dm          F/A
Please stop acting
         A/C#
like you are

Chorus:
Dm           A#
How could I know
           Gm
that everything you say
are lies about
   A
devotion and desire?
Dm              A#
And I know the spark
            Gm
inside your eyes
was just the match I
         A
used to set myself on fire

My mouth's shooting blanks
Situation's unbearable
I've gotten vulnerable
Now anyone is free to waltz right in
My temple's been invaded
And there's nobody guarding it
All over this lonely life
But what's so wrong with being all alone?
Alone's the only way I've ever known

If you're not ready, you're not ready
Please stop acting like you are

Chorus

Dm            A/C#
  Now pleading    this kills
  A#
it  still bleeding
A/C#          Dm
    My darling  I'm taking
A/C#            A#
    my life back  to
             A/C#
start healing

Chorus

Dm
Set myself on fire
