Lights Out

Lights Out
(Carroll)

Lights out, she lays down on her mattress
The ceiling spins and dances
She's living in the past tense
   July four                                
It was, the day after his birthday
He promised soon or someday
Maybe they'd get married
   Nothing more

Ever came of this you see
The years rolled by and so did he, now               
She finds comfort in a drink
And thinks about that ring… so

Chorus

Lights out
Lights out
Where ya going now
When you know all you'll ever be
   Are hang-overs and memories, yeah

Lights out
Lights out
I can't help you now
What you don't see is what you get
   And I'm the man you wish you hadn't met

Lights out, the making of an actress
Living like a car crash
The moments of her life flash
   Before her eyes                            
Glass breaks, shatters all around her
The pills are on the counter
In the morning when they found her
   No surprise

That it ended tragically
Cause this ran in the family but                    
Judging by the diary
   She probably blames me… so

Chorus

Bridge

Slept with, shared your deepest thoughts with
Bet your heart that you'd end up with                    
If you never get to heaven
   Turn around

Chorus

I'm the man you wish you hadn't met
                                           (Wish you hadn't met)
I'm the man you wish you hadn't met
    (Living like a car crash, the moments of her life flash)
Lights out
