Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I am a troubled mind, I am a calloused heart
A failing engine from driving way to hard
I was trying way to hard
I pulled a 38 out of my bleeding heart
I killed my selfishness for bringing me this far
This far away from you
When the daylight breaks through the buildings of Chicago
I will stand alone in the valley of tomorrow
Oh, this is the way I wanna go down
(This is the last time)
I'm starting over with you
This is the way I wanna go out
(This is the last time)
I never second-guessed the little voice I heard
It's just a whisper that sounded like a scream
I ain't never felt so free
When the daylight breaks through the buildings of Chicago
I will stand alone in the valley of tomorrow
Oh, this is the way I wanna go down
(This is the last time)
I'm starting over with you
This is the way I wanna go out
(This is the last time)
Yeah, I'm starting over with you
I never second-guessed the little voice I heard
It's just a whisper
