    (Da-da-da, da-da-da)

    You're a passing car on a one way street
    Headed straight through the red lights where midnight and heartbreak meet
    You're a photograph in a house of flames
    Oh, you've played every card, but you know it's a losing game

    We're running down a darker road
    Where even angels fear to go
    And stars fall like a lonely tear
    When they're crashing through the atmosphere
    It looked just like a dream come true
    But love can lead you straight into
    The thing that wrecks you
    The thing that wrecks you

    If I could change, I'd be good for you
    Oh, I hate all the madness and the pain that I've put you through
    It's not your fault (oh yes, it is), it's just how I am (I know what you're like)
    Oh, you're a deer in the headlights and I'm driving as fast as I can

    We're running down a darker road
    Where even angels fear to go
    Stars fall like a lonely tear
    When they're crashing through the atmosphere
    Yeah, it looked just like a dream come true
    Oh, but love can lead you straight into
    The thing that wrecks you
    The thing that wrecks you
    The thing that wrecks you

    (It's the thing that wrecks you)
    You're a passing car
    (It's the thing that wrecks you)
    On a one way street
    (It's the thing that wrecks you)
    (It's the thing that wrecks you)
    (It's the thing that wrecks you)(the thing that wrecks you) Writer/s: Daniel Tashian, Kate York, Tenille Nicole Nadkrynechny
