Smashing on the gas pedal going 195 on the highway on route my way
rushing pass by nightmares, trying to catch up with long last dreams
a full tank in my car, radio so loud i can barely hear you in my head now
telling me I'm nothing without you and that I'll never make it



A thousand more miles left to go till i right all the wrongs you did me boy
as i feel the wind in my hair i wonder to myself how i stayed for so long
with you always kicking me down, making me feel like dirt
how did i handle all your punches across my face whenever you pleased
all the threats and all those lies you kept spiting in and out
why the hell did i wake up every mooring with soaking pillows filled my tears



The mirror shows a woman with a black eye and cuts all over a reflection i don't know
raindrops bleeding off my cheeks onto the pictures of us
it's time for a goodbye I'll always remember
I'm going far and there's only room for one
mark the calendar cause today is the last straw there's no life here
the road is my and its never ending
there's no looking back no way no how can't look back now
I found the cure within myself from your disease
Grew stronger the moment I wasn't around you anymore
