Holding the Match

Intro

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

I watched the glass come down

Shattered on the kitchen tile

Your hand still on the door

Mine still on the dial

Tried to call you back

But the line went cold

Every word I swallowed

Turned to stone I hold

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I could paint it over

Maybe I could learn to lie

But the crack runs through the picture

Every time I close my eyes

Chorus

Can't be forgiven

Not by you not by me

Can't be forgiven

There's no way to set it free

I burned the bridge I'm standing on

And I'm still holding the match

Can't be forgiven

And that's the truth I can't take back

Verse 2

Sunday morning silence

I can't look at the sun

Your jacket on the chair back

Where I left it on the run

I had a hundred chances

Let them slip through my hands

Now I'm counting all the wreckage

Trying to understand

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I could start a fire

Maybe I could blame the rain

But the truth is plain as daylight

I'm the one who caused the pain

Chorus

Can't be forgiven

Not by you not by me

Can't be forgiven

There's no way to set it free

I burned the bridge I'm standing on

And I'm still holding the match

Can't be forgiven

And that's the truth I can't take back

Bridge

I write your name in the steam

On the bathroom mirror glass

Then I wipe it clean again

Like it never came to pass

Funny how the memories

Stay heavy and stay sharp

I could build a thousand walls

Still hear your voice in the dark

Guitar Solo

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I could learn to bend

Maybe I could fade away

But the weight of what I did

Is gonna follow me to my grave

Chorus

Can't be forgiven

Not by you not by me

Can't be forgiven

There's no way to set it free

I burned the bridge I'm standing on

And I'm still holding the match

Can't be forgiven

And that's the truth I can't take back

Outro

Can't be forgiven

Can't be forgiven

Not by you

Not by me

Can't be forgiven

Can't be forgiven

No

Can't be forgiven
