[ Featuring the Traveling City Committee ]
It's dangerous here
And you fit right in
It's changed who I am
Darkness grew from within
Got a good clear view
Through the smoke and over the floor
Not a single empty stool
They don't pay for dances anymore
Once Candy's done picking up her dollars
I'm headed out the door
On a slow ride alone
Pulling in, looking to the right
Some nights you'd beat me here
This ain't one of those times
When I read the letter on my doorstep
I knew it was a lie
Heartstrings bend
Most things do
And you pretend so easily
Nightmares end
When they come true
You pretend so easily
We were never in love
Just needed something to need
Tried to cover it up
All we ever did was bleed
I feel empty in here
Probably best that I just leave
And now that the air is clear
It's getting easier to breathe
This is the last time I'll ever
Need this set of keys
Heartstrings bend
Most things do
You pretend so easily
Nightmares end
When they come true
You pretend so easily
Heartstrings bend
Most things do
You pretend so easily
Nightmares end
When they come true
You pretend so easily
You breathe in so easily
You pretend so easily
