I was driving back late one night
Knowing you would not be home
The traffic lights hurt my eyes
And my heart hurt cause you were gone

And I thought to myself if I just let go
Of the wheel who would be there to know
Would darkness come and the lights go out
Or would I save myself and take control

Chorus:
A bit of myself disappeared that day
When you took yourself away
Would you come back if I begged you
Or is it too late, will you stay away

The cold air breezed in through the window
Dimmed the rad :o io and hit my soul
My heart stopped aching and time stood still
As I carried on driving home

Bridge:
And the devil spoke in my ear
He said to me don't be sad
Just release your control and I'll save your soul
And you will have me for company

A bit of myself disappeared that day
When you took yourself away
Its too late to come back if I begged you
Cause I am lying here all alone

How sad (and I mean that in a good way)

I really enjoyed the writing.

Good job

Thanks guys- I just sometimes feel my writing is really trite- like when I listen to some songs by people like sheryl Crow or say U2 (esp. the song stay) I feel like I am writing rubbish!

Great song! I put it to a slow beat that picked up in the chorus. If that's not what you planned, than do it your way. This was a great piece of writing and I really don't have anything to improve it!

Keep it up!
