Gotta get away from you
Fast as I can
Too much for me baby
More than my heart can stand
Like a kid behind the wheel
You been reckless with my heart
If I stay around you'll surely tear it all apart
The road's got to end somewhere
Every road has got to end somewhere
Now is the time for the show down
So let me give you the low down
We've come to the end of our road

Just think about all those nights
You left me at home lonely
You only did it cause you knew
I love you only
Runnin' around with every girl in town
I'm tellin' you boy
No longer will I be your clown
Sayin' the road's got to end somewhere
Sayin' every road has got to end somewhere
Sick and tired of your stuff
Said enough is enough
We've come to the end of our road

Ain't no sense in your beggin' and pleadin'
Talkin' bout I'm not the one that you're needin'
Said I done had my fill of you
Hurt me so through the years
I've done sure enough run out of tears
Telling you I couldn't cry if I wanted to
Said the road's got to end somewhere
Well now every road has got to end somewhere
Time and again I begged you to slow down
So I'm givin' you the low down
We've come to the end of our road
