[Verse 1] I wake up in a house where nothing changed Same four walls, same aches and pains I hear my name through the open door Always asking for more, asking for more I hold it all in, I wish I was dead I take the hits, I fill the bed Every hand reaches out in need And leaves me empty when they leave [Pre-Chorus] I pour my life in their hands I watch it vanish in the sand I keep my rage behind my teeth 'Cause nobody saved a place for me [Chorus] I am alone Alone in the fire I am alone While despair climbs higher All I am Is used for their day I give them life And they throw me away [Verse 2] I have no friends still laugh anyway No one will see me, yet I still stay I try to make plans, to pass the day And start over tomorrow the same way But not as a man, not as a soul More like a tool to keep them whole I chase my dream down a lonely road And hear my heart slowly start to implode [Pre-Chorus] Life is so boring, life is so bland But no one knows where I stand I burn so bright to keep them warm Then freeze alone in the after storm [Chorus] I am alone Alone in the fire I am alone While despair climbs higher All I am Is used for their day I give them life And they throw me away [Bridge] Cut me open, count the cost Every win I touch is lost I scream my name into the dark And get back echoes, not a spark If I'm the man they all require Why do I feel dead in the fire? Why does my love come back to me Like an empty house, a wedding ring? [Chorus] I am alone Alone in the fire I am alone While despair climbs higher All I am Is used for their day I give them life And they throw me away I am alone No one sees why I am alone Even when I die All I am Is the one they use Born to give And born to lose
