Headlights
You told your tales with pictures
I tried to make it seem good
I borrowed the heart of a preacher
And believed as hard as I could
You don't know how much I worked there
You don't know the risk I took
You hardly, hardly saw me
Behind the mirror round my neck
Refrain:
Caught in your headlights
I had to close my eyes
Caught in your headlights
I had so little time
Caught in your headlights
I couldn't turn back
I was never myself
I was you
I forgot
You sold your smiles untroubled
Your light was on every face
You were too young to know that it mattered
That every time someone must pay
I bought your every word then
I didn't have my side
I was too old to learn my first lesson
So I dance with tied hands in mind
Refrain:
Caught in your headlights
I had to close my eyes
Caught in your headlights
I had so little time
Caught in your headlights
I couldn't turn back
I was never myself
I was you
I forgot
Luces delanteras
Contaste tus historias con imágenes
Intenté hacer que pareciera bueno
Tomé prestado el corazón de un predicador
Y creí tan fuerte como pude
No sabes cuánto trabajé allí
No sabes el riesgo que tomé
Apenas, apenas me veías
Detrás del espejo alrededor de mi cuello
Estribillo:
Atrapado en tus luces delanteras
Tuve que cerrar los ojos
Atrapado en tus luces delanteras
Tuve tan poco tiempo
Atrapado en tus luces delanteras
No pude dar marcha atrás
Nunca fui yo mismo
Fui tú
Olvidé
Vendiste tus sonrisas sin preocupaciones
Tu luz estaba en cada rostro
Eras demasiado joven para saber que importaba
Que cada vez alguien debía pagar
Compré cada una de tus palabras entonces
No tenía mi lado
Era demasiado viejo para aprender mi primera lección
Así que bailo con las manos atadas en la mente
Estribillo:
Atrapado en tus luces delanteras
Tuve que cerrar los ojos
Atrapado en tus luces delanteras
Tuve tan poco tiempo
Atrapado en tus luces delanteras
No pude dar marcha atrás
Nunca fui yo mismo
Fui tú
Olvidé
