I see you in the future, driving through the sun
you commit yourself to sorrow and never love anyone
I just wanted to know you until the day you do
but I've gone up in a cloud of smoke 'cause the devil gets his due
oh, what was I thinking as I looked through all the frames?
you were angry then and you're angry now
how can I feel betrayed?
your dreams, your guts, your anchors, shoved into a line
I'm sitting on the couch while you're drowning
pounding wine
I left you in the summer, but the memory's halfway gone
I played the game with you 'til you decided you had won
the feeling's never leaving - I've been run into the ground
was my lover's lover through and through 'cause you always let me down
you let me down
your voice low in the car: "Been waiting for you all night."
is there anything that I can do to keep your blinding light?
'cause my head is caving in but the sky is filled with stars
I take the long way home to see if I might fall apart
I left you in the summer, but the memory's halfway gone
I played the game with you 'til you decided you had won
the feeling's never leaving - I've been run into the ground
was my lover's lover through and through 'cause you always let me down
you let me down
lying in that backseat with the things I cannot say
I thought I would not fall for this but I knew you'd find a way
and I still have to live with myself, and look me in the face,
but better the devil you know than the one you know has changed
I left you in the summer, but the memory's halfway gone
I played the game with you 'til you decided you had won
the feeling's never leaving - I've been run into the ground
was my lover's lover through and through 'cause you always let me down
you let me down
