Wheels Down

Now she loved me
I Loved her
Used to jump in an Uber
And roll out
Used to care she used to share
The love that she used to give
Me can't be found
 I lost my way, she said she'd stay
Lately I have been sleeping with
a ghost
My health is down at out, I used to be
Worth my weight in gold and she knows
That was before a great
Depression kicked in and stopped 
us
And that was before
Lockdown came in stopped 
us
You told me to leave, but I lied to
you
When I said
That baby no
Worries I
Promise to 
get us back
I know sorry, just
wouldn't do it
Her heart is obliterated, I'm
Trying, but we aint flying
No more
Gotta put wheels down
I wanna keep climbing and
Hoping things
Would change 
And sun turns grey 
And the water from the rain
Washes progress 
away
Gotta put wheels down
In hospital must be a
Slow death that I'm traveling on
It feels so wrong
I'm barely holding on
See no matter what it takes, I've
Gotta get it together
These roads I'm traveling up
She aint showing me love
I'm putting my wheels down
