I don't want to live like Brian; I don't want to live by dying. Everybody wants to love him; He doesn't know how to let them. I don't want to be like Brian; I know when he smiles he's trying To regain the feeling -- The love, the pain, the healing. It's overwhelming being Obligated to love her back. Love's a burden, A burning match -- He holds it, Watching it turn black, But he doesn't feel the heat.

I don't want to live like Brian; I don't want to live by dying. Everybody wants to love him; He doesn't know how to let them. I don't want to be like Brian; I know when he smiles he's trying To regain the feeling -- The love, the pain, the healing. It's overwhelming being Obligated to love her back. Love's a burden, A burning match -- He holds it, Watching it turn black, But he doesn't feel the heat.
