LYRICS:
I was 14, going on 15
The story of a boy too big for this world
My eyes are open
They're wide open
But peace does not return
It's just broken, it's just broken
Who will pay the forfeit now my dear?
Who will learn the lessons here?
I was 18, going on 19
The story of a boy too old for this world
Ashes to ashes
They're just ashes
And to dust we shall return
Strike the matches, strike the matches!
Who will pay the forfeit now my dear?
Who will learn the lessons here?
You're gone
You're gone
Life just goes on
Life just goes on
This is the end, let's walk away and start again
If this is the end, let's walk away and start again
If this is the end, let's walk away and start again
If this is the end, let's walk away and start again
(c) THE HINT
I was 14, going on 15
The story of a boy too big for this world
My eyes are open
They're wide open
But peace does not return
It's just broken, it's just broken
Who will pay the forfeit now my dear?
Who will learn the lessons here?
I was 18, going on 19
The story of a boy too old for this world
Ashes to ashes
They're just ashes
And to dust we shall return
Strike the matches, strike the matches!
Who will pay the forfeit now my dear?
Who will learn the lessons here?
You're gone
You're gone
Life just goes on
Life just goes on
This is the end, let's walk away and start again
If this is the end, let's walk away and start again
If this is the end, let's walk away and start again
If this is the end, let's walk away and start again
