lyrics

One Wheel off the Road

You were the one
We all adored
One we believed in
King of the weekend
You had the looks
And so much more
Lit up the room
When you walked through the door

You were so bound for greatness
Your charm was contagious
We thought you were gonna go far
But you were feeding the darkness
That hole where your heart is
Kept lining them up
At the bar

And how was I to know
One day your demons
Would come take their toll
There's only one way it can go
Driving with one wheel
Off the road

You had it hard
Hid it so well
Kept that façade
While your life went to hell
So much to lose
You couldn't risk
Sharing your secrets
When you were the one
We believed in most

Oh
But how was I to know
One day your demons
Would come take their toll
You had that fire
In your bones
It burnt right through you
When you were alone

Well it was too little, too late
Went too far
The wrong way
To slow down
And get some control

There's only one way it can go
Driving with one wheel
Off the road

There's no salvation
At the bottom of the bottle
You lost yourself
Trying to drown all your sorrows
There's no salvation
At the bottom of the bottle
Only white lines
And foggy tomorrows

But how was I to know
One day your demons
Would come take their toll
There's only one way it can go
Driving with one wheel
Off the road

But how was I to know
One day your demons
Would come take their toll
You had that fire
In your bones
It burnt right through you
When you were alone

Well it was too little, too late
Went too far
The wrong way
To slow down
And get some control

There's only one way it can go
Driving with one wheel
Off the road

There's only one way it can go
Driving with one wheel
Off the road

Driving with one wheel
Off the road
