Hang on to that note that I left you
Hope it shows you how close that I let you in
Tell yourself whatever's gon' help you
To get over dumb things running through your head
Yeah, I'm sure by now you're
Fine giving up trying to be tough
You only run when it's rough
It's what you always do
In the same old places
You always go to pick you up
Just enough so that you ain't gotta face it
But don't think going out's gon' make it right
You're just going blind under the neon lights
And that painted smile always finds a way to shine when you don't
Even know what's going on so just go
Keep burning tracks and starting fires
You just put a light on things you're trying to hide
But when you're home and you find yourself alone, close your eyes
When it's dark, that's when it all comes to light
Why am I back wondering about you when I left you
Feels like I'm breaking the rules when I let you in my head
It's just those times when I'm alone I don't want to forget you
Girl, the way you putting on got you fooling yourself
Yeah, I'm sure by now you
Try giving up trying to be tough
You only run when it's rough
It's what you always do
In 'em same old places
You always go to pick you up
Just enough so that you ain't gotta face it
But don't think going out's gon' make it right
You're just going blind under the neon lights
And that painted smile always finds a way to shine when you don't
Even know what's going on so just go
Keep burning tracks and starting fires
You just put a light on things you're trying to hide
But when you're home and you find yourself alone, close your eyes
When it's dark, that's when it all comes to light
But don't think going out's gon' make it right
You're just going blind under the neon lights
And that painted smile always finds a way to shine when you don't
Even know what's going on so just go
Keep burning tracks and starting fires
You just put a light on things you're trying to hide
But when you're home and you find yourself alone, close your eyes
When it's dark, that's when it all comes to light
