I fall asleep by the telephone
It’s 2 O’clock and I’m waiting up alone
Tell me where have you been?
I found a note with another name
You blow a kiss, but it just don’t feel the same
Cause I can feel that you’re gone
She was staring out the window of that SUV
Complaining, saying "I can’t wait to turn 18"
She said, "I’ll make my own money and I’ll make my own rules
Mama, put the car in park out there in front of the school"
And she kissed her head and said, "I was just like you"
There’s nothing I could say to you
Nothing I could ever do to make you see
What you mean to me
All the pain, the tears I cried
Still you never said goodbye and now I know
How far you’d go
I move on like a sinner’s prayer
Lettin’ go like a levee brakes
Walk away as if I don’t care
Learn to shoulder my mistakes
I’m built to fade like your favorite song
Get reckless when there’s no need
Laugh as your stories ramble on
Break my heart, but it won’t bleed
Like a gift from the heavens
It was easy to tell
It was love from above that could save me from hell
She had fire in her soul
It was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me
There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands and we sang
The open wound she hides
She just keeps it bundled up
And never lets it show
She can’t take much more of this
But she can’t let it go
And that’s ok, she don’t want the world
You must be happy with yourself
You think you’re so much better than me
Why do you love to see me fail so much
’cause on that day you crawl back on your knees
Tell me who will save you
You, you got me thinking it’ll be alright
You, you told me come and take a look inside
You, believe me and every single lie
But I, I failed you this time
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don’t think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I’m dreaming of your face
[Verse]
I didn’t hear what you were saying.
I live on raw emotion baby
I answer questions never maybe
And I’m not kind if you betray me.
So who the hell are you to say we
Never would have made it babe.
We’ve been here before
We’ll be here again so go on and rest your head
Before you lose it again
We’re leaning on each other
Or at least I can pretend
That we didn’t lose it all again
It could have been different
It could have all been the same
But now I’m standing at your front door, singing
Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can, you know
Yeah we’re feeling so good
Picking up things we shouldn’t read
It looks like the end of history as we know
It’s just the end of the world
Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love, you could, you can
Closer, closer, closer, closer (woo!)
Turn the lights off in this place
And she shines just like a star
And that’s where I know her face
I just don’t know who you are
Turn the music up in here
I still hear her loud and clear
Like she’s right there in my ear
Telling me that she wants to own me
To control me
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
In this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no alibi
?Cause I’ve drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
