The Thing That Wrecks You

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