Fast Car

Speed so fast it felt like I was drunk.

Why do I let myself listen to this song?
I get depressed, and so
I just let myself go deeper?
It's not that I've ever forgotten
the memories associated.
I don't want to forget them...
but, I don't want to remember them either.
It was such a bad night,
but it's the night I fell in love.  But,
it was such a bad night.
And, love from such
is never a good story.
I couldn't even move...
the most drugs my body has ever seen...
my family fell apart,
and I broke down
right in front of him,
and he held me when he
absolutely didn't have to...

I, I had a feeling that I belonged,
And, I had a feeling I could be someone...


And, the love wasn't true;
the love was only comfort
that I clung to because he babied me;
for once I was being
taken care of, not taking care of.
He kept up with it
because it was his last chance
to ignore his own reality. Plus,
he never loved me:
For me it was comfort; for him it was
convenience. I was okay with that. But,
sometimes I miss the embrace. That's all.

Leave tonight or live and die this way.
