one way street

She put her burnt hands, behind her heavy head

Said I surrender, have nothing left to give

The white flag it danced, it made those eyes shine

And just as soon as she ran, she found arms to climb

The embrace did her good, it even erased

Gave back what he took, lifted the face

But as she exposed her hands, back from her head

She found in those hands, nothing left to give

Sure you can run and hide

But where will you go when you’re tired

Love is a one way street

And you’re headed the wrong way

He put his gasoline hands, to his hollow head

Said I don’t remember letting this love in

But now that she’s gone, it’s all his eyes see

All the blame that he gave, was caused by his greed

From closing his heart, so long ago

In hopes of forgetting all the pain he once showed

Too scared to feel love and have it ripped away

So when he found it again, he never bothered to change

Sure you can run and hide

But where will you go when you’re tired

Love is a one way street

And you’re headed the wrong way

Now in the end it would seem

They both shard the same distant dream

It was only the timing that kept them apart

He gave into love and she just gave out

It was only a matter of time

She’d give up on a love that was dying

So now he lives with the ghost of what their love could’ve been

As she dances on their grave never to trust his love again

Sure you can run and hide

But where will you go when you’re tired

Love is a one way street

And you’re headed the wrong way
