I.

This is the end of our romance.
No more negotiations from the doorway.
No more messy rituals in the bedroom.
You have always unmasked me in darkness.
You have always cost me everything.
And I won’t be undone again.

II.

We’ll ride home together
And then I’ll pack my things.
Your mother always warned you:
Beware the music man.
He’ll sing you to sleep when you’re crying
He’ll hold your hand as you’re dying inside…

PRE-CHORUS

And we both knew that it was coming,
But pretended not to see
And waited to discover
Who’d be the first to flee…

CHORUS

I worshipped at your altar.
I climbed your snowy mountain.
You say that it’s not over,
But let’s face the truth like friends:
We’ve done everything we can.
Our love affair is over, dear.
Climb down off that ledge…

III.

Trucks pass us by in the darkness.
Pine trees line the highway heading home.
I don’t blame you for not talking.
It should not have come out this way.
I wish I could say something,
But what is there left to say?

IV.

Country music plays on the radio.
They’re all lovers and liars and fools.
Their sound conceals my heart-ache
Beneath these dashboard lights.
We’ve got hours of highway ahead of us
And I just wish I could see you smile.

(Pre-Chorus to Chorus)
