lyrics

remember when you drove off in the wrong direction and i
tried to grab the wheel? you were frozen in the flashing headlights
and should've pulled the car to the curb, but you turned it around.
said, "you don't know how easy it is for me to leave you behind."
you don't know how easy it is for me to leave you behind.
the night that we were drinking at the bar and you started to cry,
screaming, "why the hell did this happen? why did she have to die?"
is forever burned into my mind;
and i could never answer your questions, hope you know that i tried.
i could never answer your questions, hope you know that i tried.
remember when you called me on the phone totally out of the blue?
i was quite a few years and twenty-seven hundred miles from you
and i could see you in my head, in your bed, in the dark of your room.
you don't know how easy it is for me to leave you behind.
you don't know how easy it is for me to leave you behind.
