Lyrics
Casualty

Driving home I was miles away
When I thought that I saw your face
Late at night, a lightning flash
Put reality in it's place
I never saw the warning signs
'til it was too late
I'm a casualty
A victim of my own circumstance
A casualty a hopeless case
That never stood a chance at all
I never knew what hit me
Like somebody put out the light
I was going crazy
Couldn't tell if it was day or night
I must have lost direction
A simple hit and run
Chorus
Out of control on a one way street
Feeling myself beginning to slide
Out of my head too blind to see
That you were there just for the ride
Living this life in tragedy
Why did this happen to me
Chorus
I never stood a chance
I'm a casualty x3
