You told your tales with pictures 
I tried to make it seem good 
I borrowed the heart of a preacher 
And believed as hard as I could 

You don't know how much I worked there 
You don't know the risk I took 
You hardly, hardly saw me 
Behind the mirror round my neck 

Caught in your Headlights 
I had to close my eyes 
Caught in your Headlights 
I had so little time 
Caught in your Headlights 
I couldn't turn back 
I was never myself 
I was you 
I forgot 

You sold your smiles untroubled 
Your light was on every face 
You were too young to know that it mattered 
That every time someone must pay 

I bought your every word then 
I didn't have my side 
I was too old to learn my first lesson 
So I dance with tied hands in mind 

Caught in your Headlights 
I had to close my eyes 
Caught in your Headlights 
I had so little time 
Caught in your Headlights 
I couldn't turn back 
I was never myself 
I was you 
I forgot
