  • Pain is growing like a vine stranglin' my heart
    When I think the worst is over, that's right when it starts
    Someone says your name, sometimes I don't feel a thing
    But then there's days like today, whoa, that are suffocating

    When I think it's dead and gone
    Then it starts to rain, oh, and it grows again
    I find myself out in your driveway
    My hands are frozen on the wheel
    And I can feel your love still suffocating

    The memory of what used to be cuts me like a thorn
    Loneliness starts rollin' in like thunder from the storm
    My strength starts to sway, I feel the winds of change
    It's such a paralyzing place, oh, and it's suffocating

    When I think it's dead and gone
    Then it starts to rain, oh, and it grows again
    I find myself out in your driveway
    My hands are frozen on the wheel
    And I can feel your love still suffocating

    Let the rain wash it all away
    Can't you love me another day?
    I curse myself
    Cause nothin's changed, nothin's changed

    When I think it's dead and gone
    Then it starts to rain, oh, and it grows again
    I find myself out in your driveway
    My hands are frozen on the wheel
    And I can feel your love still
