Fire In The Driveway
Running out of answers
Burning through September
A fire in the driveway last night
Saw it in your blue eyes
And you were just a small child
Now you're only ashes of a man
And I know it's the truth
I'm better off without you
But I can't seem to say it to your face
And I know it's not wrong to leave you to the dogs
But I can't watch 'em tear into your skin
Simmer in your water
Boil until you're smothered
Until it's seething out between your teeth
I swore that I would be there
Icing out a fever
I just got too tired of doing that
And I know it's the truth
I'm better off without you
But I can't seem to say it to your face
And I know it's not wrong to leave you to the dogs
But I can't watch 'em tear into your skin
The blood is running through me
Bleed until you lose me
But I can't ever lose a friend like her
