[Verse 1] The highways, theyre all empty Full of secrets you cant say The high beams will freezeframe them But in the darkness they make a getaway Numb fingers will light the fuse Under a bridge youll burn Its that strange cross that you take up Forget all that you learned [Verse 2] Part of you is sorry For how you waste your days But given all those options Could it have been any other way? The safety net shot full of holes And the trapeze acts gone wrong So you just learn to make it up As you go along [Chorus] Theres a hundred million reasons To love you as I should Some of them are bad ones But some are pretty good Its that little part you cast out But it would not go away Its that little thing you buried But it wont stay in the grave Stay in the grave [Verse 3] Well, your voice is ragged, weary Your tubes as hot as coals No, I may not get the words just right But at least the storys told Youre all about the giving out And theres little in return When nothing fills your treasure chest Its more than you deserve [Chorus] Theres a hundred million reasons To love you as I should Some of them are bad ones But some are pretty good Its that little part you cast out But it would not go away Its that little thing you buried But it wont stay in the grave Stay in the grave
