Lyrics

What's your name? I'm so far from my home
And I'm tired, I don't want to be alone
And I need someone to talk to me
'Cause the one that used to talk to me
Well, he don't want me
See this ring? Tell me what's it mean to you
Yeah, it's pretty, but to me, it just rang true
I'm so sorry for being such a bore
'Cause this ring and everything means nothing anymore
This bus is awful cold, we've gone so many miles
God, please help me go to sleep and forget him for a while
I know it's not his fault, I've known it all along
I was the one who trusted him
That's where I went wrong
This old road, I don't know where it leads
And I don't care, 'cause it's not hard for me to see
That when it ends there'll be nothing there for me
'Cause the only thing I care about, I've gotta live without
This bus is awful cold, we've gone so many miles
God, please help me go to sleep and forget him for a while
I know it's not his fault, I've known it all along
I was the one who trusted him
That's where I went wrong
