I'm driving out tonight
But I'm not sure for how long
I tried to set things right, but my intentions came out wrong
She doesn't know the things
The things I tried to say
But the time's already past now, and the words got thrown away
Though I love to hear her cop out
To hear her cop out anyway
So this is how it ends
We know the past can't fade
Oh she doesn't know what goes unsaid, doesn't know I feel betrayed
Though I love to hear her cop out
And the excuses she'll defend
I love to hear her cop out
To match the letters I won't send
I think of them all crumpled up
Burnt, thrown out, destroyed
Words and phrases, paragraphs
That'll never be employed
Only more things to avoid
To leave us paranoid
Though I love to hear her cop out
I can always play pretend
Though I love to hear her cop out
These lonely roads must bend
