Oakhill - My Old Life Lyrics

I was just ten miles away from your house
What was stopping me back then?
What was so important that I couldn't get in my car and drive?
Or was it the nervousness in my bones?
I guess God will only know
Why everything has become equivalent to leaving home
I got my teeth kicked in from prolonging a conflict
With my best friend way back in high school
And to add on I lost my job
To a kid only seventeen with a better car than me
I watched the ground shake and tear my home down again
And it'd be tragic if it didn't happen every single weekend
I'm alone again
Reflecting on an awful situation or maybe two
I was there for you when you were sick
I never told you that I wish that I was the one dying
And I hope you can't relate
I'll believe in ghosts until the day I die cause
I'm just as hollow as one
And on that day I'll find what I've been waiting for
