[Verse 1]
So you lost all your pride in being queer
But now you work in the old gay town
And I don’t know how to feel
And we haven’t spoke in a whole damn year
Except when you requested that I disappear
From everywhere that your new boy might plant his feet
Now I don’t care what your parents say
But my old man taught me to never run away
From love, 'cause that will hurt you more
And I can’t believe I’m still on about this
But there’s some things that I terribly miss
Like the way you screamed my name when you were mad

[Chorus]
And this is how we burn out
I know you hurt you too by the way you drank your wine that night
And do you miss me sometimes?
Now don’t you lie
I know my picture comes across your pretty green eyes
In the headlines

[Post-Chorus]
In the headlines
In the headlines
In the headlines
In the headlines
In the headlines
[Verse 2]
I just want your memory erased from my mind
All the red light kisses and the photographs I find
But there's always something that reminds me of you
Now I get broke down I get sad and lonely I do
And I know you must feel that way too
Because we had a burning fire that could never be set out

[Chorus]
And this is how we burn out
I know you hurt you too by the way you drank your wine that night
And do you miss me sometimes?
Now don’t you lie
I know my picture comes across your pretty green eyes
In the headlines

[Post-Chorus]
In the headlines
In the headlines
Oh, in the headlines
In the headlines
In the headlines

[Bridge]
Well I’ll move on since you’re still gone
But you keep coming to me in my dreams
You’re all I see and I can’t sleep
And you’re just ignoring me
Well I’ll move on since you’re still gone
But you keep coming to me in my dreams
You’re all I see and I can’t sleep
[Chorus]
Oh, in the headlines
In the headlines
In the headlines
Oh, in the headlines
In the headlines
In the headlines
In the headlines
In the headlines
In the headlines
In the headlines
In the headlines
In the headlines
