I drove away

by Heather   Jun 9, 2007


The look of surrender in your eyes nearly made me hit my knees
And the way your eyes filled with tears made me want to stay
but I knew better
I knew you wouldn't change
I knew I'd just be putting it off for one more day

So I packed up my car
and said goodbye
then without looking back
I drove away

You mother called this and gave me the news
You lost your job at the factory
and your behind in rent
She asked me to check on you and talk to you again

I drove by your house
but you weren't home
your neighbor said you left
but he didn't know where you went

so I drove away one more time
but unlike before I looked back
and I cuoldn't help but cry
time sure has changed us
and I'm not sure why
