We're going down in flames, but I'm keeping you alive.
Don't want to play this game, but I will if you survive.
I'll be the fuel to your fire, though its eating me up
If that is what you require, c'mon, fill up your cup.

Burn me and leave me as coals,
at least your glow will burn bright.
I know that I wont grow old
But maybe you'll last the night.

(But maybe you'll last the night)
Baby, you'll last the night.

So I'll struggle to convince you
Gotta keep your spark alight.
Wish upon my falling star;
I hope its worth the fight.
We're going down in flames, but I'm keeping you alive.
Don't want to play this game, but I will- if you survive.

Burn me, and leave me as coals.
Burn me, and leave me as coal.


We're goin' down in flames
But at least you'll know my name
As I save you from your mind games
But isn't it a shame
I'll be the one to blame
For helping you reclaim
Your lost dignity
So just leave me
That's the way it's supposed to be
I'm giving it my all, why can't you see
I wouldn't do this for just anypony
So see if you can't remember me

You don't gotta respond in kind
Cause I'm of the mind
That you'll find
That I crossed lines
That weren't mine to cross
but I turned blind eye
Just so I could see you fly

You'll thank me later
Right now you call me a dictator
But I'm dodging all the haters for ya
I'm comin' straight for ya
And soon
I'll be your liberator

I can't let your star fall
(Though the other lights die)
Cause I can't handle
(Losing my sunlight)

I can't let your star fall
(Though the other lights die)
Cause I can't handle
(Losing my sunlight)
Losing my sunlight
(Losing my sunlight, losing my sunlight)
Losing my sunlight

We're going down in flames, but I'm keeping you alive.
Don't want to play this game, but I will if you survive.
I'll be the fuel to your fire, though its eating me up
If that is what you require, c'mon, fill up your cup.

I can't let your star fall.
I can't let your star fall.

So I'll struggle to convince you
Gotta keep your spark alight.
Wish upon my falling star;
I hope its worth the fight.
We're going down in flames, but I'm keeping you alive.
