Well my maker
Must’ve been a hard heartbreaker
I said my maker
Must’ve been a hard heartbreaker
I’ll tell you why

I’m breaking my own heart
Tryin’….to love a faker

Like a blind man
My little house is on fire
Just like a blind man
My little house is on fire

I’m burning my own eyes out
Tryin’….to reach the door

Well the sun is shining
But it sure don’t seem to reach my heart
Well the sun is shining
But it sure don’t seem to reach my heart

I’m wasting my whole life
Tryin’…..to make a new start

Make a new start
Make a new start
Make a new start
Make a new start
