I could've sworn I saw fireworks

From your house last night

As the lights flickered and they failed

I had it all figured out

Chorus 1

Why do I do this to myself every time?

I know the way it ends

before it's even begun

I am the only one at the finish line

Verse 2

I took a trip out to the frozen lake

And you felt so far away

But I could feel it washing over me

There's no escaping the harsh light of day

Chorus 2

Why do I do this to myself every time?

I know the way it ends

before it's even begun

I am the only one at the finish line
