[Verse 1]
Sweet daughter, I had a vision
Wanted to breathe but I had to jump
Hearts in a stream, I see them glisten
Sometimes the strongest ones give out, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
So look away
It'll all make sense when it's over
Close your eyes
Cover your ears when it goes up in smoke

[Chorus]
I won't cry out loud
There's no one that can save me now
Torch to the straw, let it burn
There is a price to be paid and sacrifices to be made
You only live when you know what you're dying for, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Sweet daughter, don't mean to scare you
Singing lullabies until I fall asleep
I'll miss you, I can't take you with me
You've got your life laid out like a cotton sheet

[Pre-Chorus]
So look away
It'll all make sense when it's over
Close your eyes
Cover your ears when it goes up in smoke
[Chorus]
I won't cry anymore
There's nothing worth crying for
Torch to the straw, let it burn
If there's a price to be paid and sacrifices to be made
You only live when you know what you're dying for
Oh-oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
