Constant Sorrow - Driveways

You called me from the car last night when you drove back

I fell apart inside but you know that

Not every star shines bright in the cold black sky

I’ve felt my lights dim slow as the years past

Your voice is radiant I’m laden with the fear that

When our conversation ends I’m vacant as the clear black sky

I swear my head will be the death of me

I hate the person that I was

I hope that I’m someone different

Insecurities rise up

They tell me I’m unrealistic

I live with my eyes shut

That’s something I’ve come to grips with now

(That's something I’ve come to grips with now)

I still hear the words that you told me

The cause of my constant sorrow

I’m fading out slowly

I’m here but I’m gone tomorrow

The words that I wrote seem

Like bleak predictions if I don’t fix this now

(Like bleak predictions if I don’t fix this now)

I’ll swear I’ll try to fix it

I picked up my guitar last night

I played Adam’s Song

I thought that I knew the riff on the bridge but I still had it wrong

I’m lost in my head but nothing you said has me kept me up at night for so long

I drown out these headaches every night

So everything is fine

Not sure if that’s considered progress or I’m just covering my eyes

But I know

You turned me into skeptic

Once I’m recovered and rested

I won’t waste the life that I’m left with

(I won’t waste the life that I’m left with)

I swear my head won’t be the death of me

I hate the person that I was

I hope that I’m someone different

Insecurities rise up

They tell me I’m unrealistic

I live with my eyes shut

That’s something I’ve come to grips with now

(That's something I’ve come to grips with now)

I still hear the words that you told me

The cause of my constant sorrow

I’m fading out slowly

I’m here but I’m gone tomorrow

The words that I wrote seem

Like bleak predictions if I don’t fix this now

(Like bleak predictions if I don’t fix this now)

I’ll swear I’ll try to fix it

(I'll swear I’ll try to fix it)
