Ordeal

So you went to the edge
To see how it feels
And in the words that you spoke
The truth was revealed -
But never was it real.
You hurt like you've seen too much
I've seen the scars on your arms
But it was nothing
Compared to my ordeal

The world as you know it started with a car crash
The world as I know it ended with a car crash.

Two fists, two beautiful fists
Dragged me out from behind the wheel
Two hearts beating stronger than mine
Was all that I could feel
Waking up in a hospital bed
To pull the IV out of my arm
Was just the start
The start of my ordeal.

The world as you know it started with a car crash
The world as I know it ended with a car crash.

Looking at you now
Just takes me back to that night
I try
But I can never walk away.

And now we can't escape
And now I can't escape.
