she says   it's impossible to realize   you're dead   when you shut your eyes   the car door has closed the highway opens up its arms   a couple hundred miles away from where we're from   i don't know where we're goin   i don't know where i'm gonna be   find another town that won't remember me      fill myself up with junk food   kill myself to breach this gap   look what this has come to   we have reached the far edge of this map   you need someone to love you   the best i can do is not quite   and that only seems true when it's seen through the microscope of hindsight   and all i ever wanted to do   all i ever wanted to do   all i ever wanted to do   was be the exception to the rule   but you won't let me      you didn't make my decision easy   you made my decision for me   you made sure he could be nothing more than the antagonist   in one of your short stories   you've already made your mind up   you've already wrote the ending   we've both been cast as broken glass   and there's no hope of mending   and you know we're both pretending   it's my fault that it's goin' sour   but i haven't moved an inch and the distance between us is growing by the hour   and all i ever wanted to do   all i ever wanted to do   all i ever wanted to do   was be the exception to the rule   but you won't let me      we've been here before (all i ever wanted to do all i ever wanted to do)   we know how this will end (all i ever wanted to do was be the exception to the rule)   if we walk through this door (all i ever wanted to do, all i ever wanted to do)   we can't open it again (was be the exception to the rule)      we will never be the same - we've come too far (it's too late for these words)   forget about our yesterday - find a new star (your mind has been made up)   give yourself a new name - change who you are (the truth no longer hurts)   forget about all of your (?) - change both of us (confuses both of us)      i wish you could see   the emptiness inside   i've hid so carefully   in the hollow of my eyes      will this world be my last mistake?   a pretty face a first big break   the gravity will keep me in her cold embrace   left to watch the stars die out      she says   it's impossible to realize   you're dead   when you shut your eyes
