[00:00]Headlights (feat. KIDDO & Issam Alnajjar) - Alan Walker&Alok&Issam Alnajjar&Kiddo [00:01]Lyrics by:Marshall B. Iii Mathers/Jeff Bhasker/Emile Haynie/Luis Edgardo Resto/Nate Ruess [00:03]Composed by:Marshall Mathers/Nate Ruess/E Haynie/Jeff Bhasker/Luis Resto [00:05]Nate Ruess: [00:13]Mom I know I let you down [00:18]And though you say the days are happy [00:22]Why is the power off and I'm f**ked up [00:25]And Mom I know he's not around [00:31]But don't you place the blame on me [00:35]As you pour yourself another drink yeah [00:39]I guess we are who we are [00:45]Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on [00:52]Maybe we took this too far [00:58]Eminem: [00:58]I went in headfirst never thinkin' about who what I said hurt [01:02]In what verse my mom probably got it the worst [01:04]The brunt of it but as stubborn as we are did [01:07]I take it too far [01:08]"Cleanin' Out My Closet" and all them other songs [01:10]But regardless I don't hate you 'cause Ma [01:12]You're still beautiful to me 'cause you're my mom [01:15]Though far be it from you to be calm [01:16]Our house was Vietnam Desert Storm [01:18]And both of us put together could form an atomic bomb [01:21]Equivalent to chemical warfare [01:23]And forever we could drag this on and on [01:24]But agree to disagree that gift for me [01:28]Up under the Christmas tree don't mean s**t to me [01:29]You're kickin' me out [01:30]It's fifteen degrees [01:31]And it's Christmas Eve "Little prick just leave" [01:33]Ma let me grab my f**king coat [01:34]Anything to have each other's goats [01:36]Why we always at each other's throats [01:38]Especially when Dad he f**ked us both [01:40]We're in the same f**kin' boat [01:41]You'd think that'd make us close [01:42]Nope [01:43]Further away it drove us but together headlights shine [01:46]And a car full of belongings still got a ways to go [01:48]Back to grandma's house it's straight up the road [01:50]And I was the man of the house the oldest [01:52]So my shoulders carried the weight of the load [01:55]Then Nate got taken away by the state at eight-years-old [01:57]And that's when I realized you were sick [01:59]And it wasn't fixable or changeable [02:01]And to this day we remain estranged and I hate it though but [02:03]Nate Ruess: [02:04]I guess we are who we are [02:10]Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on [02:18]Maybe we took this too far [02:23]Eminem: [02:24]'Cause to this day we remain estranged and I hate it though [02:27]'Cause you ain't even get to witness your grandbabies grow [02:30]But I'm sorry Mama for "Cleanin' Out My Closet" [02:33]At the time I was angry rightfully [02:34]Maybe so [02:35]Never meant that far to take it though [02:36]'Cause now I know it's not your fault and I'm not makin' jokes [02:40]That song I no longer play at shows [02:42]And I cringe every time it's on the radio [02:44]And I think of Nathan being placed in a home [02:46]And all the medicine you fed us and [02:48]How I just wanted you to taste your own [02:50]But now the medication's takin' over [02:52]And your mental state's deterioratin' slow [02:55]And I'm way too old to cry this s**t is painful though [02:57]But Ma I forgive you so does Nathan yo [02:59]All you did all you said you did your best to raise us both [03:03]Foster care that cross you bear few may be as heavy as yours [03:06]But I love you Debbie Mathers [03:08]Oh what a tangled web we have 'cause [03:10]One thing I never asked was [03:11]Where the f**k my deadbeat dad was [03:13]F**k it I guess he had trouble keepin' up with every address [03:16]But I'da flipped every mattress every rock and desert cactus [03:20]Owned a collection of maps [03:21]And followed my kids to the edge of the atlas [03:23]If someone ever moved 'em from me [03:24]That you coulda bet your asses [03:26]If I had to come down the chimney dressed as Santa kidnap 'em [03:29]And although one has only met their grandma once [03:32]You pulled up in our drive one night [03:34]As we were leavin' to get some hamburgers [03:36]Me her and Nate we introduced you hugged you [03:38]And as you left I had this overwhelming sadness [03:41]Come over me as we pulled off to go our separate paths and [03:45]I saw your headlights as I looked back [03:47]And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to [03:49]Thank you for being my mom and my dad [03:51]So Mom please accept this as a [03:53]Tribute I wrote this on the jet I guess I had to [03:55]Get this off my chest I hope I get the chance to [03:58]Lay it 'fore I'm dead the stewardess said to fasten [04:00]My seatbelt I guess we're crashin' [04:03]So if I'm not dreamin' I hope you get this message that [04:05]I will always love you from afar 'cause you're my mom [04:08]Nate Ruess: [04:09]I guess we are who we are [04:15]Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on [04:22]Maybe we took this too far [04:25]Nate Ruess/Eminem: [04:26]I want a new life [04:28]Start over [04:30]One without a cause [04:32]Clean slate [04:32]So I'm coming home tonight [04:35]Yeah [04:36]Well no matter what the cost [04:39]And if the plane goes down [04:42]Or if the crew can't wake me up [04:46]Well just know that I'm alright [04:49]I was not afraid to die [04:52]Oh even if there's songs to sing [04:56]Well my children will carry me [04:59]Just know that I'm alright [05:02]I was not afraid to die [05:05]Because I put my faith in my little girls [05:08]So I'll never say goodbye cruel world [05:12]Just know that I'm alright [05:15]I am not afraid to die [05:19]Nate Ruess: [05:21]I guess we are who we are [05:27]Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on [05:34]Maybe we took this too far [05:39]I want a new life
