You're a passing car
On a one way street
Heading straight through the red lights
Where the midnight and heartbreak meet
You're a bird in flight
To a house in flames
Yeah, you've played every card
But you know you it's a losing game

Yeah, you're running down a darkened road
Where even angels might not go
Some stars have a long glow
Let it pull you like a song you know
It might look like a dream come true
But it only leads you straight into
The thing that wrecks you

If I could change
I'd be good for you
Oh, I hate all the madness
And pain that I've put you through
It's not your fault (it's not your fault)
It's just how I am (it's just how I am)
You're a deer in the headlights
And I'm drivin' as fast as I can (as fast as I can)

Oh, you're running down a darkened road
Where even angels might not go
And your star's got a lonely glow
And I pull you like a song you know
We might look like a dream come true
But it only leads you straight into
The thing that wrecks you (wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you (wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you

The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (ooh)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you

You're a passing car
On a one way street

(The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you)
(The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you)
(The thing that wrecks you, that wrecks you)
(The thing that wrecks you, that wrecks you) oh yeah

The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (oh, the thing that wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you, oh
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (wreck)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (the thing that wrecks you) (wrecks you)
