Brokenheart Road

He was driving a Chevrolet with a roof that would never shut 
His car was shimmering but some strings needed to be cut 
There was rubbish that he desired nevermore 
Left behind on Road 66 with an unrequited Lenore 
Her dress was covered in sand and tears 
She tried to outrun his absence but he switched gears 
Lost in the desert, drawing hearts with dirt 
No witness to testify of the woman's hurt 
Her path was paved with good intentions 
But she's the kind of person who deserved better destinations 
The man told the police she has disappeared 
And hid the fact she was also brokenhearted 
Deep inside in her despair was a burning hunger 
He could lie as a singer but he will also die as a sinner 
Pride tainted her soul with a yearning for revenge 
Isn't it strange how quick she learnt to estrange? 
There's no shame into killing a hypocrite coward 
Would be her catchphrase in the psychiatric ward
