"Matchbox" lyrics

You talk a lot, I say a little
If we were space, I'd be the middle
And you'd be corners holding us together
'Cause you're the glue and I'm the scissors

I'm the shaking, you're the calm down
You're the safe call, I'm the night out
I'm the candle that caught on the curtain
A little spark that burned the house down

Please don't go
I'm too scared, I don't know who I am when I'm alone
Don't you know
You're the only thing that's ever felt close enough to home
And mark my words
Someday I'll be somebody you deserve
Please don't go
Please don't go

You're a firefighter, I'm a matchbox
If we were speed, I'd be a hard stop
And you'd be the steady two hands on the wheel
Parallel park in the last spot

You're perfect for me
You're everything I want and you're everything I need
But I'm so bad for you
I want you to stay but I don't know why you do

Please don't go
I'm too scared, I don't know who I am when I'm alone
Don't you know
You're the only thing that's ever felt close enough to home
And mark my words
Someday I'll be somebody you deserve
Please don't go
Sadly, I know you won't

Save yourself, 'cause I know you're hurting
Save yourself
Risk your flesh to stop mine from burning
Risk your flesh
Save yourself, 'cause I know your hurting
Save yourself
Get out now
I'm only a burden

You're the stayer, I'm the leaver
I'm only a burden
You're the stronger, I'm the weaker
You're the stayer, I'm the leaver
You're the stronger, I'm the weaker
