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

With 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 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 headlight

I had to close my eyes

Caught in your headlight

I had so little time

Caught in your headlights

I couldn't turn back

I was never myself, I was you, I forgot
