lyrics

I feel a part of me has died
We never got to say goodbye
I wait for you, and my heart it yearns
The news assured you won't return

Seasons come and seasons change
I'm afraid I don't feel the same
As when I saw you on that first night
We drew a smoke and shared a light

Sweet thing, it was never even one of us
We took the scenic route on the way to hell
I can't believe I never saw the signs
You wrote the part, I think I played it well
You took the wheel

Inside the Beverly Hilton
I watched your friend try to summon
The spirit of someone we never knew
That night I fell in love with you

I left your bed before sunrise
Packed up my things and took a drive
I stayed the night in a haunted hotel
There I wrote out all my farewells

Sweet thing, it was never even one of us
We took the scenic route on the way to hell
I can't believe I never saw the signs
You wrote the part, I think I played it well
You took the wheel

And I suppose I never really knew you
But somehow this feels like a goodbye
Like when you first leave your hometown
Or like seeing your father cry
They say home is where the heart is
I suppose I have no heart
And before we reach our little ending
Let our wounds have some salt

Sweet thing, it was never even one of us
We took the scenic route on the way to hell
I can't believe I never saw the signs
You wrote the part, I think I played it well
You took the wheel
