Sophie Hunger - Headlights (lyrics)

Lyrics:

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

Refrain:
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

Refrain:
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

Great song. Looks like all of we recent commenters saw this on TCM. I'd been watching the TCM vid over and over for about 2 weeks and finally decided to find the song. I wonder had it been used to other purposes if it would be associated with the death of a loved one. It reminds me of a relationship where someone totally loses themselves in someone else and behave counter to who they really are.

@mybutterpecanbutt to be totally honest, that's exactly my point of view as well.

I discovered this track while sitting on a train away from a girl. We were not really together but were close to it. That day we met and she behaved strange. Later on when I asked her what's going on she told me that she don't want to be with me. So I happened to listen to Sophie Hungers CD and especially this track on accident. I admit that it almost made me cry... beautiful matching lyrics.

Thank you to the artist and the one who posted this lovely piece.

Those that are no longer here ( as shown in TCM Remembers 2010), well wishes to your families as well as to all the other people out there that have lost someone dear.

@InnerWulf your welcome mate ;) I felt like I had to post it because I just love this song since the first time I ever heard it...

[XHealingDreamX]

What a beautiful song for a group of amazing people. Like if you heard this during "TCM Remembers"!

[maddie48]

were we all watching Andy Hardy today....i had to find this song, it's beautiful, beautiful voice...

Beautiful song. Unrequited love is worse than getting shot - the pain runs deeper and lasts longer.

Anyone know the 2011 TMC Memorial Tribute Song? It is extremely poignant, too.

@SexyStudChris and can be one of the most lethal things you can experience if its not right....

[Composerland]

Someone came to my house one night and played this song for me, and it got "favorited" by me. It's a beautiful ballad, as it is bittersweet.

[ClaudB89]

this song makes me miss you, and i have no idea what to do with that dull ache in between my lungs....

[SexyStudChris]

@nokemiz That's so sad =(

I just got out of a relationship over the weekend. Hope you find someone better that you loves you.

The feeling of someone else's warmth and love is the best thing in the world

long live TCM.<3

love this song, fell in love with it, SO glad i found it!

ive tried for DAYS to find this song!

[wtydye]

this song is heart wrenching. I too heard this on TCM (thank God for that channel,eh?) Thank you so much....i can listen to it over and over, and even though it is sad, it makes me feel better in a weird way. It reminds me no matter how low i may feel, there is somebody, somewhere, who has gone through something similar...someone who lost someone or something, someone who is aching. It makes the pain more bearable. Cheers!
