Lyrics
Verse 1:
You always tried to protect me
From the harm I did myself
You were the best thing that's happened
To this poor shattered shell
You looked after me so long and hard
I never saw
How much deep damage and hurt
All my failures caused
Chorus 1:
So I'll walk alone down this road
If only rid you of my heavy load
So please darlin' just pass me by
Just drive on, drive on
To that Midnight Sky
Verse 2:
Though it kills me so to save you
For all your pain I atone
At least I know I won't have
To go on hurting alone
I pray that when all your tears are wept
You'll try to see
That the last thing you'll ever need
Is a bum like me
Chorus 2:
Though maybe baby you want me found
I'd be damned if I dragged you down
So please darlin' just pass me by
Just drive on, drive on
To that Midnight Sky
Verse 3:
I decided once and for all
To protect you with a lie
And baby you can't change it
No matter how hard you cry
You'll never know how much I miss
The sound of your voice
Darling please try to understand
That I had no choice
Chorus 3:
I would gladly pay a deathly toll
If that's what it takes to save your soul
So please darlin' just pass me by
Just drive on, drive on
To that Midnight Sky
