Tail Lights

(album: Blacktop Mojo - 2013)

My back's against the wall
As you float through the room with all
The things you brought
To make you feel at home

That look that's on your face
Leads me to assume there ain't
A chance in hell
I'll know what I did wrong

Please, Darling, just say something
I need to understand
Tell me why it is you're leaving
I thought I was your man

Watching the tail lights fade
Up the street as the sun sinks low
Thinking baby please don't go go go
It don't have to be this way
You know I hate to be alone
Baby please don't go go go

I search the house and hope you left something
But I didn't find nothing at all
I thought maybe if there's something you'd forgotten
At least I'd have a reason to call

And as I pace around
I realize the only sound
Is my heartbeat
Driving me insane

I reach for you but you're not there
Cry out to you but you don't hear
You promised you'd be there forever and always
But you left without saying goodbye

Watching the tail lights fade
Up the street as the sun sinks low
Thinking baby please don't go go go
It don't have to be this way
You know I hate to be alone
Baby please don't go go go

Watching the tail lights fade
Up the street as the sun sinks low
Thinking baby please don't go go go
It don't have to be this way
You know I hate to be alone
Baby please don't go go go
