[Verse 1: Lady Antebellum]
You're a passing car on a one way street
Heading straight through the red lights where the midnight and heartbreak meet
You're a bird in flight to a house in flames
Yeah, you've played every card, but you know it's a losing game
[Chorus: Lady Antebellum]
Yeah, you're running down a darkened road
Where even angels might not go
Some stars have a long glow
Let it pull you like a song you know
It might look like a dream come true
But it only leads you straight into
The thing that wrecks you
[Verse 2: Lady Antebellum & Little Big Town]
If I could change, I'd be good for you
Oh, I hate all the madness and pain that I've put you through
It's not your fault (It's not your fault), it's just how I am (It's just how I am)
You're a deer in the headlights and I'm driving as fast as I can (As fast as I can)
[Chorus]
Oh, you're running down a darkened road
Where even angels might not go
And your star's got a lonely glow
And I pull you like a song you know
We might look like a dream come true
But it only leads you straight into
The thing that wrecks you (Wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you (Wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you
[Bridge]
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (Ooh)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (Wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you
You're a passing car on a one way street
(The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you)
(The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you)
(The thing that wrecks you, that wrecks you)
(The thing that wrecks you, that wrecks you)
[Outro]
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (Oh, the thing that wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (Wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (Wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (The thing that wrecks you)
You're a passing car on a one way street
Heading straight through the red lights where the midnight and heartbreak meet
You're a bird in flight to a house in flames
Yeah, you've played every card, but you know it's a losing game
[Chorus: Lady Antebellum]
Yeah, you're running down a darkened road
Where even angels might not go
Some stars have a long glow
Let it pull you like a song you know
It might look like a dream come true
But it only leads you straight into
The thing that wrecks you
[Verse 2: Lady Antebellum & Little Big Town]
If I could change, I'd be good for you
Oh, I hate all the madness and pain that I've put you through
It's not your fault (It's not your fault), it's just how I am (It's just how I am)
You're a deer in the headlights and I'm driving as fast as I can (As fast as I can)
[Chorus]
Oh, you're running down a darkened road
Where even angels might not go
And your star's got a lonely glow
And I pull you like a song you know
We might look like a dream come true
But it only leads you straight into
The thing that wrecks you (Wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you (Wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you
[Bridge]
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (Ooh)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (Wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you
You're a passing car on a one way street
(The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you)
(The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you)
(The thing that wrecks you, that wrecks you)
(The thing that wrecks you, that wrecks you)
[Outro]
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (Oh, the thing that wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (Wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (Wrecks you)
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (The thing that wrecks you)
