Lyrics

6 A.M I just got home
drove in from New York City all alone
so tired of dreams that don't come true
so tired of sleeping with him instead of you

and I'm
Thinking it's my turn lately to crash and burn
thinking it's my turn baby to crash and burn
thinking it's my turn lately to crash and burn
thinking it's my turn baby to crash and burn

I am what I am I know how to fall
crawl thru the lowest places and build a wall
but you break me, you take me, make me believe
you wake me from this void and I begin to breathe

and I'm
Thinking it's my turn lately to crash and burn
thinking it's my turn baby to crash and burn
thinking it's my turn lately to crash and burn
thinking it's my turn baby to crash and burn

Too much pavement under these shoes
a soul gets thin when it has to choose
and they are weaker for the wear
should I tell you how much I care
'cause this could be heaven or is it hell ?
I miss ya so much baby, I just can't tell
Are you thr darkness or the sunlight ?
Why is it so hard to know this time what's right ?

and I'm
thinking it's my turn lately to crash and burn
thinking it's my turn baby to crash and burn
thinking it's my turn lately to crash and burn
thinking it's my turn baby to crash and burn.
