Lyrics

Beating at a hundred miles a minute
Circulating blood like it was gold
She is in a car and she is driving from home
Nothing in the rear but her possessions
Mixing with the fading of the sun
She is in a car and she is driving cause she's done

Broken heart, no one told her it could take so long
To find out, to discover it was all so wrong

Hearing all the words of his aggression
And every indiscretion he could hide
She is on her own and she is going for a ride
Seeing all the signs that she neglected
Knowing she suspected they were true
She is on the road and she is knowing that she knew

Oh, he has driven her away
Oh, she has had all she can take
And now the passing signs become her neon guide
And she is going for a ride

Broken heart, no one told her it could take so long
To find out, to discover it was all so wrong
Broken dreams, moon above her, down a neon road
Two whole lanes to discover who she is alone
