Highway of Losses
They both met in high school
Fell in love like struck fools
Knew right away this was the one
From the very start
They melded each others heart
Yes, you can say it's true love
So after graduation
No need for explanation
Made plans to be together for life
They set to marry
In late February
Until that rainy evening on that fateful night
Now she places wooden crosses
On the highway losses
Of those that never made it back home
Mothers and Fathers
Brothers and Daughters
Who've lost out on love like her own
Which is the reason this quest
The center of her loneliness
Thinking back to what she almost had
When they both slipped from her hands
Her love and her life plans
Where irony is all she has left
If she could turn back the clock
To all that she's lost
Would it make a difference in where she is today
Being the same girl
In that same shattered world
Where he still holds the heart that she gave away
As she places wooden crosses
On the highway of losses
Of those that never made it back home
Mothers and Fathers
Brothers and Daughters
Who've lost out on love like her own
