Headlights

You told your tales with pictures

I tried to make it seem good

I borrowed the heart of a preacher

And believed as hard as I could

You don't know how much I worked there

You don't know the risk I took

You hardly, hardly saw me

Behind the mirror round my neck

Caught in your Headlights

I had to close my eyes

Caught in your Headlights

I had so little time

Caught in your Headlights

I couldn't turn back

I was never myself

I was you

I forgot

You sold your smiles untroubled

Your light was on every face

You were too young to know that it mattered

That every time someone must pay

I bought your every word then

I didn't have my side

I was too old to learn my first lesson

So I dance with tied hands in mind

Caught in your Headlights

I had to close my eyes

Caught in your Headlights

I had so little time

Caught in your Headlights

I couldn't turn back

I was never myself

I was you

I forgot
