the thing that wrecks you

Singer:lady antebellum

you're a passing car

on a one way street

heading straight through the red lights where midnight and heartbreak meet

you're a bird in flight

to a house in flames

yeah

you've played every card but you know you it's a losing game

yeah

you're running down a darkened road

where even angels might not go

some stars have a long glow

let it pull you like a song you know

it might look like a dream come true

but it only leads you straight into

the thing that wrecks you

if i could change

i'd be good for you

oh

i hate all the madness and pain that i've put you through

it's not your fault

it's just how i am

you're a deer in the headlights and i'm driving as fast as i can

oh

you're running down a darkened road

where even angels might not go

and your star's got a lonely glow

and i pull you like a song you know

we might look like a dream come true

but it only leads you straight into

the thing that wrecks you

the thing that wrecks you

the thing that wrecks you

the thing that wrecks you

wrecks you

the thing that wrecks you

wrecks you

the thing that wrecks you

wrecks you

you're a passing car

on a one way street

the thing that wrecks you

wrecks you

the thing that wrecks you

wrecks you

the thing that wrecks you

wrecks you

the thing that wrecks you

wrecks you

the thing that wrecks you

wrecks you

the thing that wrecks you

wrecks you
