Runaway train

Runaway train never coming back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
This song makes me think to days of old
When hearts weren't broken and secrets weren't told
I had a best friend that knew me better than I do
And secretly, I had a giant crush on you
Remember when we went camping that night
Me, you, and Jess and a case of bud light
I cracked you a beer and you held my hand
And for a while it was just like I had planned
We'd sit and talk on my deck for hours
Catch the fireflies and pick the wildflowers
You had a problem though, too big for me
You think I didn't notice but I could see
I have no idea now just where you are
I hope you've covered up every single scar
I hope you've finished your fight with Heroin
Cuz I secretly prayed all those nights that you'd win
I remember your smile when you were sober
Even though I haven't seen you since last October
I miss you and every single stupid joke
And now I hear it and I can't help but choke
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on Earth did I get so jaded
Life's mysteries seem so faded..........
