Gripping at the wheel
My feeble hands are trembling
So much I am sorry for
So much I can't take back
Had my time to heal
Lord knows I'd give anything
To salvage what we once were
Cover up the cracks
There's no easy way to let somebody down
And if only I could toughen up right now
But all I feel is green and all I am is mean
I've had hours to find the perfect words
And still I've got nothing pulling into town
My heart is sinking now
Why can't Cleveland be just a few more miles away?
I had many plans in mind for today
And this ain't one of them
That's not how I intended to handle things at all
A drive-by makeshift ending
I truly am appalled
But I swear I'm sincere
There's a heart beneath my armor
Though frankly I fear
That doesn't change a thing
Cause there's no easy way to let somebody down
And if only I'd grow thicker skin somehow
But all I feel is green and all I am is mean
I've had hours to find the perfect words
And still I've got nothing pulling into town
My heart is sinking now
Why can't Cleveland be just a few more miles away?
I had many plans in mind for today
And this ain't one of them
I'm passing each familiar face
And I fill with panic with every breath I draw but
I'm thankful for each red light that I catch
Cause it keeps me further off
Gives me time to stall
Cause there's no easy way to let somebody down
And if only I could muster up some courage right now
But all I feel is green and all I am is mean
I've had hours to find the perfect words
And still I've got nothing pulling into town
My heart is breaking now
Why can't Cleveland be just a few more miles away?
I had many plans in mind for today
And this ain't one of them
This ain't one of them
There's no easy way to let somebody down
