10 miles 'til empty And I am almost there, Been driving all night To get to Nowhere. Throughout the night I've been left with my thoughts, Focusing on the end So I don't get lost. 5 miles 'til empty And my journey's almost done. The new beginning is on the horizon. I packed up my life To see what's in store Because the old me Desperately wanted more. 2 miles 'til empty And my heart is racing fast Because of my tank And all that has passed. Will this life be better? Will it keep me satisfied? I will only know At the end of this ride. 0 miles 'til empty And I am now here, Alone in this place With only my fear. In this isolation I realize the truth That I really did love the life of my youth. my heart is empty, it's all my fault. my rebirthing journey has come to a halt. i don’t want to be here. i wish i never came. i want to go back to when things were the same. My tank is empty But my hope is not. I’ll head straight back With only my thoughts. Each step I take Is one step closer To getting off This roller coaster. 10,000 miles ‘til home And I’m almost there, I’ll walk through the night To end this nightmare. The distance is great But this first step is a start In returning back to The home of my heart.

We all want change, but we really don't know what we have until it's gone. Take a moment and see the good around you. Be thankful for your life, even if you wish it were different.
