Mom, I know I let you down
And though you say the days are happy
Why is the power off, and I'm fucked up?
And mom, I know he's not around
But don't you place the blame on me
As you pour yourself another drink
I guess we are who we are
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
Maybe we took this too far
verse 1
I went in headfirst
I guess we are who we are
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
Maybe we took this too far
verse 2
As we pulled off to go our separate paths, and
I saw your headlights as I looked back
And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to thank you for being my Mom and my Dad
So Mom, please accept this as a tribute I wrote this on the jet
I guess I had to get this off my chest
I hope I get the chance to lay it before I'm dead
The stewardess said to fasten my seatbelt, I guess we're crashing
So if I'm not dreaming, I hope you this message
That I'll always love you from afar, cause you're my mama
I guess we are who we are
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
Maybe we took this too far
verse 3
I want a new life
One without a cause
So I'm coming home tonight
Well no matter what the cost
And if the plane goes down
And if the crew can't wake me up
Just know that I was alright
And I was not afraid to die
Even if there's songs to sing
My children will carry me
Just know that I'm alright
I was not afraid to die
Because I put my faith in my new girl
So I never say goodbye cruel world
Just know that I'm alright
I am not afraid to die
I guess we are who we are
Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
Maybe we took this too far
