The Brake Lights - A Declaration of Truth About Love Lyrics

They'll never tell you why
No, they'll never give you the truth
Then they drill their alibis
At the mouths of their excuses

As they outline your insides
Like drafting a map, or something

But then you yawn under an awning
Waving me onwards towards collapse
But if it's a matter of things to have
If it's a matter of chemicals interacting, well then

I would rather love someone I know I'll never have
Than have someone I know I'll never love
I'd rather be with no one
Than with someone just barely good enough

I trace the paper night streets
From under the waning moon above me
I trace the lines in my face completely
I face the paper in great defeat

As the streets, they shake me off, get up and leave
I shake the shit from off my sleeves
I shake away the sham of disbelief

Because I would rather love someone I know I'll never have
Than have someone I know I'll never love
I'd rather be with no one
Than with someone just barely good enough
