Main street's empty in the evening chill
From courthouse tower to griffin mill
Small signs of winter comes creeping down the hills
I saw your shadow on Jackson Street
Where the zombie-eyed kids and the speed-queens meet
It's been a long time running through my veins this long-lost dream
ย
And I tear it apart, and I burn it all down 'cause I have to
God gave me permission to do what it takes to find you
All the friends I betrayed, all the enemies made in the process
We've all done the same, we're just carrying different crosses
I'm feeling no pain, baby, it's acceptable losses
ย
This place got dark in the year's that passed
The store-front's blown, I guess nothing lasts
The fighting at the bars still draw wired vengeful crowds
I followed your trail down to Rosewood Park
As the shadows grow tall and the stars come out
Where the backseat lovers used to park their daddy's cars
ย
And I tear it apart, and I burn it all down 'cause I have to
Made a deal with a man at the crossroads who knew where to find you
All the friends I betrayed, all the enemies made in the process
Our pain feels the same, we're just carrying different crosses
It's all in the game baby, it's acceptable losses
ย
They found your car down the Suicide Bridge
Where the Johnson twins became newsflash kids
But I know you so much better, don't believe you'd call it quits
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Now I got an old address, and I'm waiting there
In the first light of morning at the fire stairs
I can hear someone's coming, and suddenly I'm scared
ย
'Cause you ripped me apart, and I ran for my life 'cause I had to
My heart won't stop bleeding, and I'm no longer sure if I want it to
All the friends I betrayed, all the enemies made in the process
They're all going down in accounts of acceptable losses
It's all in the game baby, acceptable losses
