Blackout

Part of me has never tried to leave your side, my dear The other part is always many miles away from here If leaving on the regular is what I've gotta do Until I've cut the record that I've always wanted to Don't blame yourself — you never could contain me anyway Forces hard at work on me will hurt you every time Like waking up to find your lover's left a note and run And took his pound of flesh from you in more ways than one Poor honey, you've been hurting something Trying to wrap your head around me now I've been burning down a highway headed south But you can't watch me leave you Like a blackout again You take it on yourself and you let the darkness in Blame my deviations on a detail you'd forsaken The King he had his dancing and the Beatles had their hair Like them you compensate for quality That was always really there, now Poor honey, you've been hurting something Trying to wrap your head around me now I've been burning down a highway headed south But you can't watch me leave you Like a blackout again I wanna show the recommended sentiments this time Lay a little love down on the line The return is not the sum of all the effort that she put in If I can't reciprocate the love she does give Poor honey you've been hurting something Trying to wrap your head around me now I've been burning down a highway Headed south but you can't watch me leave you Like a blackout Any time I try and be more than just a friend It's all lights out Like a blackout again
