Headlights

Dans le style de

Eminem

feat.

Nate Ruess

Paroles

mom i know i let you down
and though you say

the days are happy

why is the power off

and i'm f##### up?

and mom i know
he's not around

but don't you place
the blame on me

as you pour yourself

another drink yeah

i guess we are who we are

headlights shining in the dark
night i drive on

maybe we took this too far

i went in headfirst
never thinking about

who what i
said hurt in what verse

my mom probably got
it the worst

the brunt of it but
as stubborn as we are

did i take it too far?
cleaning out my closet and

all them other songs

but regardless i don't
hate you 'cos ma

you're still beautiful to me
'cos you're my mom

though far be it from you to
be calm our

house was vietnam

desert storm and both of
us put together can

form an atomic bomb
equivalent to chemical warfare

and forever we can drag
this on and on

but agree to disagree

that gift from me up under the
christmas tree don't mean

s### to me
you're kicking me out?

it's fifteen degrees and
it's christmas eve

little prick just leave

ma let me grab
my f###### coat

anything to have
each other's goats

why we always at
each other's throats?

especially when dad he
f##### us both

we're in the same f###### boat
you'd think that it'd

make us close

further away it drove us
but together headlights shine a

car full of belongings
still got a ways to go

back to grandma's house

it's straight up the road

and i was the man
of the house the oldest

so my shoulders carried the
weight of the load

then nate got taken away by
the state at eight years old

and that's when i realized
you were sick and it wasn't

fixable or changeable
and to this day

we remained estranged
and i hate it though but

i guess we are who we are

headlights shining in the dark
night i drive on

maybe we took this too far

'cos to this day we remain
estranged and i hate it though

'cos you ain't even get to
witness your grand babies grow

but i'm sorry mama
for cleaning out my

closet at the time
i was angry

rightfully maybe so
never meant that

far to take it though 'cos

now i know it's not your
fault and i'm not making jokes

that song i no longer
play at shows and

i cringe every time
it's on the radio

and i think of nathan
being placed in a home

and all the medicine
you fed us

and how i just wanted
you to taste your own

but now the
medications taken over

and your mental
state's deteriorating slow

and i'm way too old to
cry the s### is painful though

but ma i forgive you
so does nathan yo

all you did all you said you
did your best to raise us both

foster care that cross you bear
few may be as heavy as yours

but i love you
debbie mathers oh

what a tangled web we have

'cos one thing i
never asked was

where the f### my
deadbeat dad was?

f### it i guess he had
trouble keeping up

with every address

but i'd have
flipped every mattress

every rock and desert cactus

own a collection of
maps and followed my

kids to the edge of the atlas

someone ever moved
them from me?

that you coulda bet your a####

if i had to come down the
chimney dressed as

santa kidnap them

and although one has only
met their grandma once

you pulled up in
our drive one night

as we were leaving
to get some hamburgers

me her and nate we
introduced you hugged you

and as you left i had
this overwhelming sadness

come over me

as we pulled off to
go our separate paths

and i saw your headlights
as i looked back

and i'm mad i didn't
get the chance to

thank you for being my
mom and my dad

so mom please accept
this as a tribute i wrote

this on the jet

i guess i had to
get this off my chest

i hope i get the chance
to lay it 'fore i'm dead

the stewardess said
to fasten my seatbelt

i guess we're crashing

so if i'm not dreaming
i hope you get

this message that i

will always love you from afar

'cos you're my ma

i guess we are who we are

headlights shining in the dark
night i drive on

maybe we took this too far

i want a new life

one without a cause
so i'm coming home tonight

well no matter what the cost

and if the plane goes down
and the crew can't wake me up

well just know that i'm alright
i was not afraid to die

oh even if there's songs to sing
well my children will carry me

just know that i'm alright
i was not afraid to die

because i put my faith
in my little girls

so i never say
goodbye cruel world

just know that i'm alright
i was not afraid to die

i guess we are who we are

headlights shining in the dark
night i drive on

maybe we took this too far

i want a new life
