Lyrics
I won't cry myself to sleep like a sucker
I won't cry myself to sleep, if I do I'll die
Now you fall asleep with another
Damn you
Remember how we used to escape for the summer?
Fireworks and sparklers would light up the black skies
We'd hold on tight for our lives to each other
Hello, hello, where did you go?
We were two kids livin' life on the run
Like the American dream, baby
Nothin' to lose and we'd get messed up for fun
We went too fast too young
But I won't cry myself to sleep like a sucker
I won't cry myself to sleep, if I do I'll die
Now you fall asleep with another
Damn you, damn you
Flowers in my hair and your breath smelled like whiskey
Promise anywhere that I go, take you with me
Dancin' on your feet like a child to the radio
Hello, hello, where did you go?
We were two kids livin' life on the run
Of the American dream, baby
Nothin' to lose and we'd get messed up for fun
We went too fast too young
But I won't cry myself to sleep like a sucker
I won't cry myself to sleep, if I do I'll die
Now you fall asleep with another
Damn you, damn you
Damn you, damn you
Every once in a lifetime, dreams can come true
Now and then, when the stars shine, you meet somebody like you
And I won't cry myself to sleep like a sucker
I won't cry myself to sleep, if I do I'll die
I pray your life is sweet, you fucker
Damn you, uh-oh
Damn you, damn you
(Oh my God)
