I've been running on fumes
And it seems like it's been a while
Lord knows that I took you for granted
But I couldn't see it somehow
You told me that I would
Break it in the end
Well tonight, I'll drink the town dry
And tomorrow I'll do it again
Now the pounding truth
Is the only sound
Left inside my head
When the lights go up
And the sun goes down
Yeah the lights go up
And the sun goes down
You chased the dead end
Down a lonely street
Just to find me waiting there
You ran far enough to trick your feet
Into thinkin' we were getting somewhere
I guess even the best laid plans
Can blow up in the end
Now I hate to admit
That I lit the fuse
And I'll probably do it again
Now the pounding truth
Is the only sound
Left inside my head
When the lights go up
And the sun goes down
Yeah the lights go up
And the sun goes down
You were the only one
Who ever treated me good
You couldn't change me
But I always hoped you would
When the daylight fades
The night gives way to
The ghosts of you
I held on to you
Like fireflies in a jar
I never meant to steal that light
That made you who you are
Now the pounding truth
Is the only sound
Left inside my head
When the lights go up
Yeah the lights go up
Yeah the lights go up and the sun goes
Yeah the lights go up and the sun goes
Down
