Separate Ways (Acoustic)

You kept me alive, but the whole damn time
You threatened to pull my lifeline
So I went for a drive
83 down the highway where I first held your hand, singing

Stay, don't walk out the door, I kind of adored you
Couldn't afford you, but I'll save up
Then you went for New York, the damn road had a fork
My pride was immortal, 'cause I went West

Called this toxic all too often
Why I always say the wrong thing?
Hard to live with or without it
I'm so goddamn what you wanted

Stay, don't walk out the door, I kind of adored you
Couldn't afford you, but I'll save up
Lost sight of what's important, settling scores
We could've been more

So you can take what you want, I'll give just what you asked for
Summer time so alive, let's never fast-forward
Slit my throat again, make your tulips roses
But I don't wanna be used like that
You begged then broke me, you did me like that
With the heart I had that frankly you can't
Ever give back or understand, you almost made me grow up

Called this toxic all too often
Why I always say the wrong thing?
Hard to live with or without it
I'm so goddamn what you wanted

Stay, don't walk out the door, I kind of adored you
Couldn't afford you, but I'll save up
Lost sight of what's important, settling scores
We could've been more, now it's separate ways

I can't ever turn back
At least I found who I am
Sometimes I get scared to death
This pressures mounting in my head
