Walking the wrong direction in the fast lane of the freeway,
Waking from sweetest dreams to find yourself in the middle of a nightmare. "

Is that it changes everything.
Brad and I are still friends.

for the true loves of our lives.
And the only way to be that
is to let ourselves love
each other. "
