Driving through the darkness
With the city lights behind me,
Destination undecided as of yet.
I’m hoping I can find a place
With nothing to remind me
Of the fact that you and I had ever met.
No money in my pocket
And my tank is almost empty,
But I’m going to go as far as I can get.
I’m trying to make you miss me,
But everything’s against me,
And I’m even down to my last cigarette.
Nothing that I do gets your attention.
I couldn’t stand the heat,
So I just got out of the kitchen.
I’d swear I’m finally over you,
But I’d probably lose that bet,
Because I’ve got a feeling it’s not over yet.
The first time that I saw you
I thought we should be together,
So I took you for my wife and made a vow.
But now I realize
I never would have said forever
If I’d only known back then what I know now.
The only thing you ever
Really wanted was a plaything,
So I’m trying to break away from you somehow.
Well, I’d like to think you’re wishing
That you had only listened,
But I’ll bet you’ve found somebody else by now.
