Main street's empty in the evening chill
From courthouse tower to griffin mill
Small signs of winter come creeping down the hills

I saw your shadow on Jackson St.
Where the zombie-eyed kids and the speed-queens meet
It's been a long time running through my veins this long lost dream

And I tear it apart and 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

This place got dark in the year's that passed
The store fronts blown, I guess nothing lasts
The fighting at the bars still draw wired vengeful crowds

I fallowed our trail down to Rosewood Park
As the shadows grow tall and the stars come out
Were the backseat lovers used to park their daddy's car

And I tear it apart and 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

They found your car own at Suicide bridge
Where the Johnson twins became newsflash kids
But I know you so much better don't believe, you'd call it quits

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

'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 a accounts of acceptable losses
It's all in the game, baby, it's acceptable losses
