The beginning of the end

VERSE 1

I'm waking up, Mike D dreading the day

Nothing I do will ever be okay

Put food on the table, extra on top

But you always find something to stop

I tried to be better, tried to be right

Now I can't even sleep at night

PRE-CHORUS

These demons run deep inside

It's time to tell the truth I've tried to hide

CHORUS

You're the fuel to the fire burning me down

Tearing me up in this broken-down town

Nothing's ever enough, you crush all my dreams

You're not who I thought, you're everything mean

You're the fuel to the fire, I gotta let go

Time for me to find what I used to know

VERSE 2

You tear me down, never build me back up

Our love died years ago, I gave up

Lucinda watches from the hallway, your fits, your rage

She's learning to flinch at the sound of that evil bitch's name

I'm sorry, I failed her—you had your spark once

But now you're just poison, and she's caught in the dust

CHORUS

You're the fuel to the fire burning me down

Tearing me up in this broken-down town

Nothing's ever enough, you crush all my dreams

You're not who I thought, you're everything mean

You're the fuel to the fire, I gotta let go

Time for me to find what I used to know

BRIDGE

This ends today, no more games

I'm walking away from all the pain

The man in the mirror, I'm taking him back

No more looking at what we lack

FINAL CHORUS

You're the fuel to the fire, but I'm done

I'm breaking free, my time has come

Nothing's ever enough for your soul

But I'm finally taking back control

You're the fuel to the fire, goodbye

I'm rising up, learning to fly
