One Wheel off the Road

You were the one we all adored

One we believed in, king of the weekend

You had the looks, and so much more

Lit up the room when you walked through the door

You were so bound for greatness, your charm was contagious

We thought you were gonna go far

But you were feeding the darkness that hole where your heart is

Kept lining them up at the bar

And how was I to know?

One day your demons would come take their toll

There's only one way it can go

Driving with one wheel off the road

You had it hard, hid it so well

Kept that facade while your life went to hell

So much to lose, you couldn't risk

Sharing your secrets when you were the one we believed in most

Oh, but how was I to know

One day your demons would come take their toll

You had that fire in your bones

It burned right through you when you were alone

Well it was too late, oh, too late

Went too far the wrong way to slow down and get some control

There's only one way it can go

Driving with one wheel off the road

There's no salvation at the bottom of the bottle

You lost yourself trying to drown all your sorrows

There's no salvation at the bottom of the bottle

Only white lines and foggy tomorrow

But how was I to know?

One day your demons would come take their toll

There's only one way it can go

Driving with one wheel off the road

But how was I to know? (how was I to know?)

One day your demons will come take their toll (how was I to know?)

You had that fire in your bones (how was I to know?)

It burned right through you when you were alone (how was I to know?)

Well it was too late, oh, too late (how was I to know?)

Went too far the wrong way

To slow down and get some control (how was I to know?)

There's only one way it can go (how was I to know?)

Driving with one wheel off the road

There's only one way it can go

Driving with one wheel off the road
