She was born the same year I was, 2006

She had a good life until her heart broke

A small crack was all it took for her to fall apart

Empty holes left in her soul, longing for love

Missing pieces, broken and tattered, treated like it didn't matter


She found her way to me

Worked day and night to make her feel free 

Someone had to love her

I knew it had to be me

So that once again she could be free


The memories we made together

The smell of burnt rubber and hints of gas 

Bring me back to the past, like i'm standing in front of her once again

I loved her more than anything

Her bright eyes shined like stars in the dark,

If only I could take her for one last ride

I’d finally be ready to say goodbye

And put her in park.

Its about my first car that I rebuilt and the car got me through a lot of tough times and was pretty much my best friend and I spent all my time and energy trying to make it run again. I was my escape to just work on my car and not have to deal with my other problems in life at that moment.
