Took a drive into the sprawl To find the house where we used to stay I couldn't read the number in the dark You said "let's save it for another day" I took a drive into the sprawl To find the places we used to play It was the loneliest day of my life

Draw me a smile and save me tonight Paint me a heart, let me be your art I am a blank page waiting for life to start I was scared, I was unprepared Oh, for the things you said If I could undo that I hurt you I would do anything for us to make it through

Don't think I could forgive you Ya, you never said a word You didn't send me no letter See, our world is slowly dying I'm not wasting no more time Don't think I could believe you Ya, our hands will get more wrinkled And our hair, it will be grey And see
