All the setups that you've blown Just being sorry for the outcome Not the path that led you to
Did we build it up to last? Through the looks we gave each other One half candy, one half glass No blanket statement Can wash it out or away
They won't throw out a line for die-hards tonight It'll take a night alone to know you're through
Cuz she don't cry for show Oblivious, oblivious to you She don't cry for show Holding true, just as true as you
You feel like you did when you were young You bought a zippo at the mall just to piss whomever off But these instincts never hold Long enough to buy the lighter fluid So you spark it off alone
They don't throw out the line for die-hards And that sparkling sense of self just weighs you down
(chorus)
They forgot about the die-hards Bivouacked with a story to hold We're not the only die-hards We all think that we'll be the last one left to fold
