Eve
Ray Garrison Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Driving away, from you again?
This time I swear that we're through

Pre-chorus:? ?
Its too many times, to brush it off?
We're running out of excuses?
I think its time to do, what I never though I could

Chorus:?
I'm sorry, I messed up. I did it again?
I know I promised, to stop it then.

Verse 2:?
We had a great time for a month or ten?
But then it got too much for me to deal with?
The hardest part was hurting the only one I love

Bridge:?
Look at where we are now, remember where we've been
I wonder where we're going, so should it be the end?

I knew it was time to do, what I never thought I could...
