Vertigo - Youth Fountain

If you could notice me now

Would you see all the envy behind those eyes

They told endless lies

And after all the view’s still black and white

It’s black and white

Is it within where you’d absolve my sins

And measure up the way that I have lived with all my good intentions?

So every now and then (now and then)

I’ll think of why it had to end

It came and went

Like a match that burnt at both ends

Save your breath

We only get so many chances

And after all, we’ve been through

I always knew we would end with you

And I, what good am I?

And I’ve known this all my life (all my life)

It’s like you say

'there's no easy way to escape'

Rest assured I’m self-medicated out the front door

Is it within where you’d absolve my sins

And measure up the way that I have lived with all my good intentions?

So every now and then (now and then)

I’ll think of why it had to end

It came and went

Like a match that burnt at both ends

It burnt at both ends

I’m self-medicating

Save your breath

We only get so many chances

And after we’ve been through

I always knew it would end with you

Save your breath

We only get so many chances

And after all, we’ve been through

I always knew it would end with you

Is it within where you’d absolve my sins

And measure up the way that I have lived with all my good intentions?

So every now and then (now and then)

I’ll think of why it had to end

It came and went

Like a match that burnt at both ends
