Lyrics
Verse 1:
I could barely see the street, wiping tears away
I never felt such pain eating at my soul.
I hardly could believe that I said goodbye,
I knew I was alone and I couldn’t help but cry.
Chorus:
I cried the whole way home, I never felt so alone
I cried the whole way home, I felt so lonely, already lonely.
Verse 2:
As I drove away my body felt so numb
I could not accept that my only love was gone
Everywhere I looked all I saw was you.
It made me hurt inside and I couldn’t help but cry
Bridge:
Oh it just happened so fast when you said goodbye
I never felt so alone and I couldn’t help but cry.
