Meant to Break

Life is a promise
That's meant to be shattered
It's the only promise
That's ever really mattered
It was meant to be broken
Because we all live to die

People are like candles
Lives as long as their wick
And they only burn
As long as they're lit
But when the light goes out
They no longer exist

If you go through life
And burn as bright as you can
You'll have a life worth living
And a memory to withstand

Everyone on Earth
Is living to die
And breaking the promise
That we call life
