Head’s In Ruins

My head’s just gone, gone in the cloud

Your birthday candles burnt to the ground

You danced on my toes while the city slept

All the late night secrets and lies we kept.

All over town, all over town

Head’s in ruins all over town

 

Didn’t fall in love when I found you

I fell in love with what I found in you.

I’m not broken by what we left behind

I’m broken by what we couldn’t find.

 

All over town, all over town

Head’s in ruins all over town

 

Now past the point of give a damn

What’s the point when I’m not your man

We’re past the point of no return

There’s no point, we need to learn

 

All over town, all over town.

Head’s in ruins, all over town

 

We’re past the point of a morning smile

Been like this for more than a while

We’re past the point of just pretend

What’s the point it has to end

 

All over town, all over town

Head’s in ruins, all over town

They say happiness is a moving target

Yet heartbreak tends to stick around

Seems I just got older, never got wise

Never saw through your brilliant disguise

All over town, all over town

Head’s in ruins, all over town

All over town, all over town

Head’s in ruins, all over town.
