Hell in the Headlights Lyrics by Famous Last Words

Council of the Dead

2014

[Verse 1]
Crash the impact that took my life
But what happened to the little girl still trapped inside?
Did she make it out of there alive? Did she survive?
The headlights showed me the light
Lit the tunnel down the road to my demise
All we went for was a little drive
Who knew that it would be the last time?

[Chorus]
You spread these lies, just another way to justify
That our lives are gone and we must move on, but that is not alright
All I needed was a little time and all I wanted was to say goodbye
Well I can’t move on, this is all so wrong, and I will not comply

[Verse 2]
My life's decaying
But what happened to the little girl still trapped inside?
Did she make it out of there alive? Did she survive?
I accept the path that’s chosen for me
But leave my girl alone, she has a life to lead
Don’t mercy me, no sympathy
Don’t take her life, God, just take me
My life is fading

[Chorus]
You spread these lies, just another way to justify
That our lives are gone and we must move on, but that is not alright
All I needed was a little time and all I wanted was to say goodbye
Well I can’t move on, this is all so wrong, and I will not comply

[Bridge]
The fire’s blazing I hear her cry
God don’t forsake me
Don’t let her die
Another victim of a DUI
Murder, a fucking homicide
You can save her life tonight, don’t let her die

[Chorus]
You spread- spread- e- these lies
Just another way to justify -fy -fy
You spread these lies, just another way to justify
That our lives are gone and we must move on, but that is not alright
All I needed was a little time and all I wanted was to say goodbye
Well I can’t move on, this is all so wrong, and I will not comply

[Outro]
I’ll beg and I’ll plead
I’ll do whatever it takes, God, please just promise me
She’ll be safe without her father
Promise me
She won’t understand, she won’t believe
She’ll wonder where I’ve gone and why I had to leave
She’ll be told that her daddy’s gone away
To a place in the sky, that’s where I’ll stay
In the night, she will meet me in her dreams
That’s as close as we will ever be
I’ll whisper in her ear and I will say
"Daddy loves you, everything’s okay"
