The Headlight Game

The night sky

can't see the stars

cause she's in too deep

yeah she's in too far

 

The headlights

they shine so bright

until they fade away

into the night

 

He leaves her for the first time

He leaves her going out of her mind

 

she's looking

for regret

where she knows

she can't find it

she's trying

to hold on

but her lifeline is long gone

never again, never again, never again

 

The hurt that

she can't conceal

she disbelieves

but it's still real

it has to end

it's time to break

yeah she's too far bent

 

He leaves her with a hollow heart

He leaves her and her world falls apart

 

she's looking
for regret
where she knows
she can't find it
she's trying
to hold on
but her lifeline is long gone
never again, never again, never again and again and again

 

She step onto the pavement

She looks up at the sky

She can't see the stars, she's in too far

Her heart races as she turns

Sees the headlights coming for her

She thinks aloud

"I hope you're happy now"

 

she's looking
for regret
where she knows
she can't find it
she's trying
to hold on
but her lifeline is long gone
 

she's looking for regret

she will never find it

she gives up holding on

because her lifeline is too far gone

never again, never again, never again and again and again

never again, never again, never again and again and
