On the first star I see tonight,   I'll wish that you could be mine.   I once thought that dreams came true.   But stars fall and hopes have died.   And winter has passed us by.   So I'll leave my thoughts of you   Behind with the fallen leaves.   The wind through the empty trees   Can carry me far away.      This car will be my escape   From words I could never say.   The sky is a wall ahead of me and I can't slow down.   I brace myself for the crash.   The explosion will scatter me   To somewhere where thoughts and   memories of you won't haunt me.      The skyline is clear tonight,   So I'll try to race my thoughts.   My foot on the gas as if I could outrun this heartache.      (I never said I'd be alright)   The speedometer climbs, my hands on the wheel,   Past the blur of the streetlights.   So how does it feel,   Now that I'm just a mess   And you're doing fine?   I never said I'd be alright.   (All right?)   Don't say I ever lied.
