The Thing That Wrecks You Lyrics by Tenille Townes, Bryan Adams

2023

[Verse 1: Tenille Townes, Bryan Adams]
You're a passing car on a one-way street
Headed straight through the red lights where midnight and heartbreak meet
You're a photograph in a house of flames
Oh, you've played every card but you know it's a losing game
[Chorus: Tenille Townes & Bryan Adams]
We're running down a darker road
Where even angels fear to go
And stars fall like a lonely tear
When they're crashing through the atmosphere
It looked just like a dream come true
But love can lеad you straight into
The thing that wrecks you
The thing that wrеcks you
[Verse 2: Tenille Townes, Tenille Townes & Bryan Adams, Bryan Adams]
If I could change, I'd be good for you
Oh, I hate all the madness and the pain that I've put you through
It's not your fault (Oh, yes, it is)
It's just how I am (I know what you're like)
Oh, you're a deer in the headlights and I'm driving as fast as I can
[Chorus: Tenille Townes & Bryan Adams]
We're running down a darker road
Where even angels fear to go
Stars fall like a lonely tear
When they're crashing through the atmosphere
Yeah, it looked just like a dream come true
Oh, but love can lead you straight into
The thing that wrecks you
The thing that wrecks you
The thing that wrecks you
[Outro: Bryan Adams, Tenille Townes]
(It's the thing that wrecks you)
You're a passing car
(It's the thing that wrecks you)
On a one-way street
(It's the thing that wrecks you)
(It's the thing that wrecks you)
(It's the thing that wrecks you)
It's the thing that wrecks you
Wrecks you, wrecks you, wrecks you
