It's a free ride
For anyone who wants a ticket
The dark side
It pulls you like the tide
And I don't know what
Is so compelling 'bout it
But once you give up
There's no returning for ya
Last night
She spilled her secrets to me
Her whole life she'd been blinded by the light
So she would give up
To anyone who'd have her
Now she cant live up
To any kind of standard
I said you chose your path
You took the reins
You have your heart but took mine away from me
Now you're on your knees
With tear-soaked eyes
And you're begging please oh please oh
Watch you cry
Like a baby
Don't know why
You're like a baby
Begging for a chance, but I'm not that kind of guy
You dealt the hand you don't get to cry
It is a free ride
And she took it
She's ridden it one too many times
There they go, the best years of my life
Good riddance
I'd never let her have her fill
Though my heart yearns for her still
I tried
To warn her of the danger
But surprise, she did it anyway
Now all the regret
And all her empty bottles
Don't feel like a threat
When she's not here to coddle
I said you chose this path
You took the reins
You have your heart but took mine away from me
Now you're on your knees
With tear-soaked eyes
And you're begging please oh please oh
Watch you cry
Like a baby
Don't know why
You're like a baby
Begging for a chance, but I'm not that kind of guy
You dealt the hand you don't get to cry
(Na na na na na)
You gonna cry?
(Na na na na na)
Now say goodbye
(Na na na na na)
I'll watch you try
(Na na na na na)
Watch you cry
Like a baby
Don't know why
You're like a baby
Begging for a chance, but I'm not that kind of guy
You dealt the hand you don't get to cry
Like a baby
