Parkway Drive

 Written by: neil diamond



I never needed to hear the truth

You never wanted to know

I never wanted to be unkind

But then something kept telling me go

There was something kept telling me go



We stayed together like birds in a cage

But then one of us had to get free

But who had the heart to say goodbye

Wasn’t you so it had to be me

Wasn’t you so it had to be me



You told me to go when I wanted to stay

Breaking me over in every way

Telling me just what to do with my life

ButohI wish you could be mine

OhI wish you would be mine tonight

Be mine tonighttonight

Be mine tonight



We never knew it for what it was worth

It was worth more than we understood

We never got past the lies and the hurt

And it hurt even when it was good

Yes it hurt even when it was good
