Driving To Nowhere
by: FinleyLights on the highway
Everyone's sleeping
The air is so cold
The sky has turned to black
I got your letter
Nothing's forever Something is over
I am sure you won't come back
It's a better thing for us
That's all that you said
Thanks for all that you gave me
Until this last day
I'm still calling and screaming
Your name with no sound
Maybe one day you'll hear me
But I'll spend tonight
Driving to nowhere
Driving to nowhere
Some say some good things
Break in a heartbeat
Same goes for us I
have to live with that
And I call myself blind
It's so late to realize
That I have wasted all this time
Running after you
Nothing hurts like the truth does
That's all I can say
Thanks for all that you gave me
Untill this last day
I'm still calling and screaming
Your name with no sound
Maybe one day you'll hear me
But I'll spend tonight
Driving to nowhere Driving to nowhere
