Street lights carry me home tonight
and this will be the last time that I ever make this drive
We haven't talked in days,
but it's clear what you're trying to say
Things are changing and you keep running away
Street lights carry me home tonight
and this will be the last time that I ever make this drive
It was the best it's ever been,
all good things must come to an end
and I'll take one last breath tonight,
and watch these headlights pass you by
I can't breathe with this burning in my chest
and you've got a history on your breath
that tells of scandals and secrets
I've got reasons for this
You've got heart shapes in ink,
yeah you wear it on your sleeve
You're so the one liner,
I'm such the critic
We've all been cynics once in our life
You talk about the hard times
like you've have such a hard life
Should I be impressed with how easy you undressed?
It was the best it's ever been,
all good things must come to an end
and I'll take one last breath tonight,
and watch these headlights pass you by
I can't breathe with this burning in my chest
and you've got a history on your breath
that tells of scandals and secrets
I've got reasons for this
(so kiss me one last time,
and then I'll drive away
faster than ever before)
The truth hurts and you're killing me
It was the best it's ever been,
all good things must come to an end
and I'll take one last breath tonight,
and watch these headlights pass you by
I can't breathe with this burning in my chest
and you've got a history on your breath
that tells of scandals and secrets
I've got reasons for this
(so kiss me one last time,
and then I'll drive away
faster than ever before)
