Hell in the Headlights Songtext
von Famous Last Words

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?

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

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


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

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...!

You spread, spread these lies, just another way to justify

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

I'll beg and I′ll plead (and I'll plead)
I'll do whatever it takes; God, please just promise me (promise me)
She′ll be (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" (everything′s okay)
