I Live My Life A Quarter Mile At A Time

A quarter closer to the end
 And you sit stone cold, alone
 Thinking things cannot possibly get worse
 The neutral walls that won't forgive
 The jutting concrete furniture
 What could have been's flushed out
 By flashing white and blue
 You had eight or nine up you
 Getting home was love to you
 Instead got three initials added to your name
 A picture taken from inside
 All the charm and the lines
 Won't help you reconvert
 From what you've done this time
 Just when you think
 That I can't believe this is happening to me
 It does
 It happens to you
 Used to believe
 You're spinning freely
 Loving me requires a key
 Left to bathe in your mistakes
 Loaded with hypocrisy
 I promise you'll see
 That this is never happening to me
 Because I live
 I live right now
 And I can't see
 I can't see
 See past the thought
 That nothing will ever happen to me
 So when it does
 I won't see
 I won't see
 Won't see the truth that has been sitting
 Right next to me
 Just when you think
 I can't believe this is happening to me
 It does
 Trust me, it happens to all of us
