This Road
I wake up every morning
 my hair in tangles
 bags from the night before
 pull the curtains and squint at the light
 thinking about our fight
 can't remember what it was about
 honestly don't care
 i comb my hair real quick
 and hit the door on the way out
 
 well im walking on this road
 watching things pass left and right
 my friends
 my family
 my love
 my life
 then i stop and stand in the middle
 will someone please hit me?
 wake me from this dream?
 Or just kill me now
 put me out of this pain
 of watching the memories
 all along this road
 
 i gasp my can of cola
 and break it up with a flip
 walking down the street
 talking to my shadow along the way
 cross the road with out a glance
 almost hit by a honda
 they honk and i flip them off
 i didn't care that i almost died
 or that they saved my life
 just keep sipping from my can
 continue walking through all the people of this city
 
 well im walking on this road
 watching things pass left and right
 my friends
 my family
 my love
 my life
 then i stop and stand in the middle
 will someone please hit me?
 wake me from this dream?
 Or just kill me now
 put me out of this pain
 of watching the memories
 all along this road
 
 at a local cafe i stare into space
 i should know who i am by now
 but lately i have no clue
 days fly by and nothing from them
 just drunken nights
 and loveless fights
 i pay for my coffee and disappear in the crowd
 
 on my way home
 to talk to the only person i ever loved
 i run into an old friend
 she says "hey, hold on and grab some coffee with me"
 i say "i'm sorry sweetie, i have to talk to someone back home"
 Nonsense she says and drags me back into the cafe
 many cups later the girl walks by
 glances in the window
 i catch her eyes
 dripping with hurt all around
 i scream her name as she finds her way
 through the endless crowd
 
 well im walking on this road
 watching things pass left and right
 my friends
 my family
 my love
 my life
 then i stop and stand in the middle
 will someone please hit me?
 wake me from this dream?
 Or just kill me now
 put me out of this pain
 of watching the memories
 all along this road
 
 place my key in the door
 and i just know somethings not right
 it creeks open
 and i see nothing
 but my table from college
 and an old chair from my child days
 toss my keys on the table
 wash my face in the bathroom
 look up and see the note
 reading "No more, Goodbye"
 note in hand i fall to the floor
 babe im sorry
 talking to it like she was in front of me
 
 i grab my overcoat and walk down the street
 i'm gonna turn it all around
 she's everything to me
 well days go by and i give up hope
 i run into her in that lil old cafe
 and i grab her by the shoulders
 look her in the eyes
 and say Baby come back home
 she stares blankly
 before saying
 "Boy, been through alot with you
 first i ever said i love you too
 but lately you're not who you been these past years
 and until you find who you are
 boy i don't know you
 let alone love you."
 she breezes past me and out the door
 and although my hearts in two
 i know she's right
 
 well im walking on this road
 watching things pass left and right
 my friends
 my family
 my love
 my life
 then i stop and stand in the middle
 will someone please hit me?
 wake me from this dream?
 Or just kill me now
 put me out of this pain
 of watching the memories
 all along this road
 along this road
 this road...
