The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out

You told me that your 20 years have gone by much too fast

And you've been hoping this year will be better than the last

You said you've been waging a war against the loneliest of nights

With the strongest drinks and longest lines

It's not that big of a surprise

That you're feeling more dead than alive

You're feeling more dead than alive

So I'll let you know

If you need, somewhere to go

I'll be listening when you call

And I'll be there if you fall off

If you need someone to believe in you,

I'll let you know I will

You said the hole in your head has gotten bigger than the hole that's in your chest

And you're stuck between the past and the present tense

You said you've been waging a war against so many years of lies

With stronger drinks and stronger lines

It's not that big a surprise

That you're feeling more dead than alive

You're feeling more dead than alive

So I'll let you know

If you need, somewhere to go

I'll be listening when you call

And I'll be there if you fall off

If you need someone to believe in,

I'll let you know I will
