It's the small things I miss The light that felt new The scent of the morning As I lay awake next to you First time I ever wanted to dance...
Where is my life?
I'm sick of driving the N1 Smoking two packs a day Waking up at five I don't even know what to pray Where's my life I started to build? All the pieces and dreams unfulfilled Where'…
