Emile Haynie - Headlights (EGW cover) lyrics

[Verse 1: Nate Ruess] Mom, I know I let you down And though you say the days are happy Why is the power off, and I'm f**ed up? And, Mom, I know he's not around But don't you place the blame on me As you pour yourself another drink, yeah [Hook: Nate Ruess] I guess we are who we are Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on Maybe we took this too far [Verse 2:EGW] Dear Mom I know we've had our fair shair of fights But I don't go to sleep without thinkin of you atleast once a night Because of all the things we used to do together And all the homes we had to lose together The way you were treated, it ain't an excuse I didn't grow up like others, But you'll have to excuse My poor behavior I'm lost I didn't think there would be a cost Or a toll, and the fact you couldn't control The outcome of your relationships All those men, they were f**in sh**s Pretty smelly, if you ask me They didn't deserve you, they were unworthy I see you got a man who will treat you right Thats good, but he f**s up and he'll meet my right Cause you're beautiful, and deserve someone who will treat you like a queen The way I've been acting, I know I've been obscene Thats why i had to go, this direction is where the wind blowed And I know, That you were dying inside while you signed those papers And the expression when i said "Bye Ma, See you later" That said it all, But I still love you And It hurts when i don't hear a I love you too But, I know you're in pain Because your son mentally insane But forgive me ma this once Because this silence is too f**in much [Hook: Nate Ruess] I guess we are who we are Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on Maybe we took this too far [Verse 2: EGW] But it'll never change the fact That if you died I'd have a heart attack Cause your my # 1 and I was yours too Even though i acted wrong, just give me a clue As too how long ago I was just like you Doing stupid things cause it was cool And you werent tryin to impress as many people as i was But you still did it, regardless Just take a look inside and realize That underneath these blue eyes Is a boy that can't find A place to stay,too many homes I traveled worldwide, next day we're gone I don't blame you, I blame me I could never get along with your hubby And if life is a timebomb I still question why mine hasn't gone off But i'm out Dont think i dont care Cause that just ain't fair [Hook: Nate Ruess] I guess we are who we are Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on Maybe we took this too far [Verse 3: Nate Ruess] I want a new life (start over) One without a cause (clean slate) So I'm coming home tonight (yeah) Well, no matter what the cost And if the plane goes down Or if the crew can't wake me up Well, just know that I'm alright I was not afraid to die Oh, even if there's songs to sing Well, my children will carry me Just know that I'm alright I was not afraid to die Because I put my faith in my little girl So I never say, "Goodbye, cruel world." Just know that I'm alright I am not afraid to die [Hook: Nate Ruess] I guess we are who we are Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on Maybe we took this too far
