As the sun sets into the hill’s embrace
I cruise along with no hopes to chase
and of all the things you said before
why’s it this that kicks me out the door?
Just shrug it off you’d say, since
no one’s ever coming to take you away
I keep my sight set on the horizon ahead
and press my foot to the floor since I feel so misled
I keep blindly driving on
so nothing will ever remind me of
that poison on your lips
And everything else that I won’t miss
I may have had too much to drink
when you decided you wouldn’t speak
and now I’m at it again
just to get you out of my head
Now there’s no turning back
and the roads are getting so thin
I promised I wasn’t able to be brave
but you said I just can’t be afraid
Even though the years have gone
and all I’ve done is stay on the run
Your wily ways have kept me caged
but we both know I could have never stayed
I’m miles from home and out of my head
If you’re not careful you’ll end up dead
I’ll save you the trouble for what’s in store
but I’ll leave the noose on your front door
