Why Should the Fire Die?
"Jealous of the Moon"
--------------------------
Trying on a brand new dress
But you haven't worn the old one yet.
You've come too far, to turn around now.
Giving up the good fight.
You're as strong as anyone.
You're back where you started from,
I see you're back where you started from.
,
(Chorus:)
Staring down the stars, jealous of the moon
You wish you could fly.
But you're staying where you are,
there's nothing you can do,
if you're too scared to try.
-------------------------------
Drag your pretty head around
Swearing you're gonna drown with a beautiful sigh and a river of lies.
,
(Chorus)
Why don't you call me, I could save you.
Together we'll find a god we can pray to that will take you by the hand.
I hate to see a friend of mine,
Laughing out loud when she's crying inside,
but you've got your pride.
,
(Chorus)
You're staring down the stars,
You stay where you are,
You're jealous of the moon, but there's nothing you can do if you're too scared to try,
If you're too scared to try.
