It's been a long time since I watched these lights alone

I look around my life tonight and you are gone

I might have done something to keep you if I'd known

How unhappy you had become



While I was dreaming of you

With my heart in your hands

And I was following though

With my beautiful plans



Yeah now I'm rolling down this canyon drive

With your laughter in my head

I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive

'cause those dreams are dead

And I'm alive



I want to go where I will never hear your name

I want to lose my sorrow and be free again

And I know I've been insane

When I think of places I could have been



But I was dreaming of you

With my heart in your hands

And I was following through

With my beautiful plans



Standing here by the highway side

Watching these trucks blow by

Inches from my face

Yeah thinking 'bout the time I've wasted

And the pleasure we once tasted

Looking up and down this road

I've been here before

Can't be here no more



Yeah now I'm rolling down California five

With your laughter in my head

I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive

'cause those dreams are dead

And I'm alive



Hey look at the way I believed in you

And loved you all these years

Now you can fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears

If you'd have told me what was in your heart

Instead of all your lies

I thought that it would kill me

But I'm alive

Yeah, I'm alive
