The Thing That Wrecks You

(Da-da, da-da-da) (Da-da-da, da-da-da) 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 The thing that wrecks you The thing that wrecks you (It's the thing that wrecks you) You're a passing car (It's the thing that wrecks you) On a one way street (It's the thing that wrecks you) (It's the thing that wrecks you) (It's the thing that wrecks you)(the thing that wrecks you) --- The Thing That Wrecks You - Tenille Townes and Bryan Adams
