On a summer night

As you pull me closer

Baby, please don't cry

Isn't this what you had hoped for

Sorry to say that we can't just go back

Pretend like you tried

and We'll leave it at that

Wouldn't you hate to admit that you did this to yourself



And you're throwing away happiness with both hands

Just blame it on miles

But you knew all the while

Don't tell me that it's better off this way

And you started to say the words you run to so quickly

Can you make me believe that I shouldn't leave

These lights reveal your face so differently



So make promises that we both know you wont keep

Leave it to me to believe in your eyes

I'm calling you out on your only regret

More like regret is calling you

My dear in the headlights so cold and alone



And you're throwing away happiness with both hands

Just blame it on miles

But you knew all the while

Don't tell me that it's better off this way

And you started to say the words you run to so quickly

Can you make me believe that I shouldn't leave

These lights reveal your face so differently



And she whispers in my ear

"Promise me when you're not here, promise to never let me go"



And you're throwing away happiness with both hands

Just blame it on miles

But you knew all the while

Don't tell me that it's better off this way

And you started to say the words you run to so quickly

Can you make me believe that I shouldn't leave

These lights reveal your face so differently



On a summer night

As you pull me closer

Baby, please don't cry

Isn't this what you had hoped for
