Chain Reaction

You were sleepin' in the backseat
I was drivin' us home through the dark of night
Started rainin' on the windshield
But I was lost some place deep behind my eyes
Your words, your words, your words, your words, your words
Still ricochet through the car

There are some things that you can't take back
There's some lines that you know that you never should cross
Wanna tell you that it's okay
But I'm not sure that I can afford the cost
How could, how could, how could, how could, how could
You let this be torn apart?

'Cause every choice has a chain reaction
If you follow the lines, it all leads us back to the start
And every hope is a small distraction
'Cause no matter our plans, we all just end up on our own

The weight is heavy when we get home
So I grab my pillow, sleep on the floor
Every room has fallen silent
But I can feel the tension behind the door
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
What we are fighting for

'Cause every choice has a chain reaction
If you follow the lines, they all lead us back to the start
And every hope is a small distraction
'Cause no matter our plans, we all just end up on our own

So I watched you, watched you, watched you go
Fightin' off the thought that one day I'll die alone
We'll split this life that we both made
Split it down the middle, but I'll burn everything you don't take
So I watched you, watched you, watched you go
I know it'll get better, but I really hate to be alone
And I swear I heard someone once say
You gotta let go if you're gonna find a better way
A better way

'Cause every choice has a chain reaction
If you follow the lines, they all lead us back to the start
And every hope is a small distraction
'Cause no matter our plans, we all just end up on our own
