She sits in her driveway
As I slowly drive away
Mascara running eye to cheek
Return I never may
Off to see who I am
Turn a light on in this dark
Off to find who I may be
Before my soul departs
Down the dark and dreary street
I stumble from a bar
2:12 am my clock reads
As I close the car door
I close my eyes
My body trembles from the cold
No gas to fuel the heat
Only have I thought
Is the misery beneath
Find a job
But lose it fast
Working doesn't work
When you're trashed
Car was towed
Sleep on a bench
Next roof ill have
God only knows
I awake to dark blue
Hard hit to the chest
A cop says sir
Get off the bench
A man walks up
As I bleed
I feel from the bench
And cut my knee
He helps me up
I look and see
The man asks if I'm ok
I say I'm fine have a nice day
I go to walk
Fall on my face
He points and says
There's a free clinic this way
We walk and talk
As I explain
I plan to find myself someday
I get stitched up
And the man says
Find yourself
You never will
Not at the bottom
Of any ale
I sit down on the curb and wait
This man he must have been fate
I look up at the sun and sky
And think of her
When I said goodbye
I walk for days
Hitched some rides
Look up and see
The stars fly by
The car its stops
I step out
Look up and see her house
And finally realized
I found myself
In her eyes
That was me
Ring the bell
The door it swings
Her mother blinks
The tears they flow
Down her face
She tells me dear
Please come with me
I walk in fear
She sits me down
As she explains
My love is gone
She did drown
2 years ago
When I had left
She slit her wrists
And drowned to death
I left to go and find myself
Before my soul departs
To find myself in my love
But no love to hold my heart
Her tomb stone I did visit next
I feel to my knees to cry
My love I'm back
I've found myself
He slit his wrists
And died
His soul departed
To be with hers
These deaths were both in vain
For if he looked into the dark
He would have found his heart
He would have seen a little light
With his heart her hands around
