I don't want to be another memory
I want to be a haunting reminder
Of what we could have been
Of what we should have been
Like it's always lurking behind you
Maybe tonight I'll go for a drive and hold on to the wheel a little tighter
I wish I had a smoke, ‘cause I just like the look of a flame dancing on a lighter
Just to feel something real I let go of the wheel
Put my life in the hands of two tonnes of steel
On an empty road in the middle of the night
Snapping out of this is harder than I ever realized
Guess I'd better say my goodbyes
‘Cause I don't want to waste your time
Like you waste mine
Like yours is worth more than anyone else's
Why'd you have to light a match and burn
It all down into ashes
And what did we learn from what we'd said
That it ain't over ‘til we're dead
But in the end you ain't worth shit
And I'll never forget it
I'll never forget it
I'll never forget it
I'll never forget it
I'll never forget it
I roll the window down
Let the breeze run in
Let the wind blow out my cigarette
As the city sounds all but fade away
All that's left is a dark obscurity
All I ever need is a simple thing
I want to be in the seat right beside her
So when we careen off of the road and bleed
In each other's arms, we'll be kinder
Kinder than we were before we got so cold
And held the wheel a little tighter
I know you need a smoke
But the blood has soaked into our clothes
And wet the lighter
Guess I'd better say my goodbyes
‘Cause I don't want to waste your time
Like you waste mine
Like yours is worth more than anyone else's
Why'd you have to light a match and burn
It all down into ashes
And what did we learn from what we'd said
That it ain't over ‘til we're dead
But in the end you ain't worth shit
And I'll never forget it
