I wish all the lights on the highway could show you that I love you’s do not make you stop
I wish I could drain the numbness that is inside you
Unfortunately I cannot
Your addiction shows me suicide it is the darkness that blocks out the light
This highway takes you away from me every waking night
Whenever I look at you I feel lost within
This highway resembles your addiction but this addiction cannot compare to where my hurting begins
I wish I did not have to chase you on the endless highway
I wish you wouldn’t plug your ears
I wish that you could hear everything I say
I wish you would not promise to quit your addiction everyday
I wish I could leave your room and know that your okay
Yet I see more pills and highways when I enter your room
Your room is not a room to me
It is a maze of broken promises and empty stares
Your highway lets you escape the captiveness of reality without a single care
And every time I exit I feel no love is there
I wish you could love me as much as your highway, but every time I ask you to stop
You never see it my way
Your highway is so blank with no beauty to be shared
I wish I could walk with you through your journey to recovery unfortunately I am scared
I forgot who you used to be and scared of who you’ve become
I’m scared of your highway I’m scared of the loneliness I’m scared of the depression coming back to haunt us again
It’s hard to look you in the eye
It’s hard to see you getting high
It’s hard to say hello and five minutes later goodbye
it’s hard to see the truth when I know it may be another lie
It’s hard not to cry
It’s hard to see you die
if you die ill be all alone, there will be no more of you in the family to brighten another day
But still we will lose you to your empty highway
