The Thing That Wrecks You

You're a passing car on a one-way street
 Headed straight through the red lights
 Where midnight and heartbreak meet
 You're a photograph in a house of flames
 Oh, you've played every card, but you know it's a losing game
 We're running down a darker road
 Where even angels fear to go
 And stars fall like a lonely tear
 When they're crashing through the atmosphere
 It looked just like a dream come true
 But love can lead you straight into
 The thing that wrecks you
 The thing that wrecks you
 If I could change, I'd be good for you
 Oh, I hate all the madness and the pain that I've put you through
 It's not your fault (oh yes, it is)
 It's just how I am (I know what you're like)
 Oh, you're a deer in the headlights
 And I'm driving as fast as I can
 We're running down a darker road
 Where even angels fear to go
 Stars fall like a lonely tear
 When they're crashing through the atmosphere
 Yeah, it looked just like a dream come true
 Oh, but love can lead you straight into
 The thing that wrecks you
