lyrics

Yeah and it's nights like these
I wish my life were a movie scene
A dead man's dream
With cigarette butts and methlamene
In place of all this strife

And I never thought I would see these things
Like mirrorballs and broken wings
And at once you see your darkest sins
And a reflection of you in a knife
And isn't it just a lovely sight

And the worst things first and the bad things last
And all of the good things are all in the past
But right now all I lack would be anywhere but here

And who would have thought I would see you smile
For the very first time in a long while
My radios stuck just left of the dial
But it's all I need tonight

And burning bridges cant get much worse
Unless you forget to get off it first
So sell your crap and buy a hearse
Or just get on with your life
It's such a gorgeous sight
