LYRICS
All those crazy nights, she skinned her knees under neon signs, honey
She learned her lessons from defeat
Daylight robbery, she turned little boys into memories, darling
With all her sad songs on repeat
Into the night
She’s gonna leave them all behind
Fueled by broken promises and lies
Cause girls don’t cry, so keep the pain behind your eyes
With heartache on the radio tonight
So take the wheel and drive
Suicide machines
The American nightmare and teenage dreams honey
Where all her heroes came to bleed
From her silent screams, came the sudden death of the heartbreak queen, darling,
With all her sadness in between
Into the night
She’s gonna leave them all behind
Fueled by broken promises and lies
Cause girls don’t cry, so keep the pain behind your eyes
With heartache on the radio tonight
So take the wheel and drive
Sing her to sleep tonight
Cause you’ll never fill the void on the passenger side
The lights faded out when she crossed white lines
And all that pain went away under moonlit skies
It’s alright
Into the night
She’s gonna leave them all behind
Fueled by broken promises and lies
Cause girls don’t cry, so keep the pain behind your eyes
With heartache on the radio tonight
So take the wheel and drive
Into the night
She’s gonna leave them all behind
Fueled by broken promises and lies
Cause girls don’t cry, so keep the pain behind your eyes
With heartache on the radio tonight
So take the wheel and drive
