You watch me drive away.
Taillights burn in your eyes.
You couldn’t keep me at bay.
You knew there had to be a day
that you would come to despise.
You watch me drive away.
Please, sit there and waste
everything. It’s no surprise.
You couldn’t keep me at bay.
You used me as your lump of clay,
turn me into one of those perfect brides.
You watch me drive away.
The fights and endless nights way
in the past. Never a compromise.
You couldn’t keep me at bay.
You’ll miss me when you turn to say “Hey”
to the pretty chick at the bar, she’s a prize.
You watch me drive away.
You couldn’t keep me at bay.
