I Drove Away

Perfection, Reaction, Digression

All in a year or two

Back when I lost you

If wasn't you, it was me

Who made me bleed

I took the actions

It was only my own fault



Two years ago, I saw you

Drove an hour or two

Just to give a letter to you

I knocked on your door, what a big surprise

Just another stupid kid

Tell me now who was I kidding?



I thought to myself

This is my last shot,

Better make it last

Better make a lasting impression

You read the note

I gave you flowers

What a cheap surprise

Tell me now who was I kidding?



I let you go, I drove away

Hoping that another day

I would hold you in my arms again

It started to rain, I felt so much pain

There were tears in my eyes

Lightning in the skies

Like the one that struck

Just 50 feet from my heart



We talked a while, you had a smile

But you had found someone else

Something I couldn't do a thing about

He left you, he made you cry

Never drove an hour

Just to bring you flowers

With a huge storm just brewing in the sky



I let you go, I drove away

Hoping that another day

I would hold you in my arms again

It started to rain, I felt so much pain

There were tears in my eyes

Lightning in the skies

Like the one that struck

Just 50 feet from my heart



Too bad these things never go as planned

I loved you, I love you

Things never changed for me since that night

I drove two hours, just to see you for one

That night a new life had begun

I lost you myself, time to pay the consequence



I let you go, I drove away

Hoping that another day

I would hold you in my arms again

It started to rain, I felt so much pain

There were tears in my eyes

Lightning in the skies

Like the one that struck

Just 50 feet from my heart



Too bad it never struck me

I would have died, a sacrafice

You'd give me flowers

As I fall into the ground

Sleeping so sound

You would have never known I still care



But I let you go, yea I drove away

It was such a mistake, I should have stayed

I want to hold you in my arms yet again

Can we make plans?  Make this happen...

There are still tears here in my eyes

That is no suprise, I drove away

There was lightening in the skies

I am glad it was 50 feet away

'Cause there wouldn't be today

There'd be no chance to make this right again
