Where's the life that you promised
I'm blinded by all the city lights
They keep me wide awake tonight
I left my life for the highway
Somehow I never saw the signs
Yeah, I put all my trust in painted lines
Now all my stories sound the same
Yeah, and I've got no one else to blame
I know so don't say anything
I poured out my heart when no one was listening
Now I'd do anything to sleep
Cause the voice in my head is screaming
I know so don't say anything
Where's the life you imagined
A perfect job, a house, a car
A pretty view from a big back yard
You left your life for my way
No steady wage and a cheap guitar
Now we're right back at the start
From the start it just gets harder
I know so don't say anything
I poured out my heart when no one was listening
Now I'd do anything to sleep
Cause the voice in my head is screaming
I know so don't say anything
I know I'm a disappointment
But I bet it all and never folded
I know I'm a disappointment
So why do you believe in me
Cause the voice in my head is screaming
I know so don't say anything
I poured out my heart when no one was listening
Now I'd do anything to sleep
Cause the voice in my head is screaming
I know so don't say anything, yeah
I know so don't say anything
