Down I-5 I’ve grown

Down I-5 I’ve grown.

One could call it heartbreak road

Driving home from disappointment, fights

To the many homes I’ve had, so as I drove I asked...

What is home?

The only constant seems to be heartbreak road

So many a times, different lovers, moves

This isn’t even my state from New York City I moved...

For freedom and love-

Love, that backed me into a corner

Scolded me like a dog

Threatening to put me on the street

So, I cried down heartbreak road as I drove home to have my spirit beat

I remember the first time I drove on heartbreak road,

But back then it was mystical, a new world of my own

The evergreen trees breathe life into me

I drove just to see sights I’ve never seen before

Simply to the store, it was a dream.

Driving down I-5 I was really doing things

New job, new life, new purpose

But I ended up starting a new life twice on heartbreak road

With two new leases, I now drove to my new home

It was small 250 sq. ft but it was a new beginning

The last night at my old place I had to call the police

Down I-5- blood, sweat, and tears, flying

I let them know I left safely as I let out the pain on the pavement.

Moving on to bigger and better things

My new apartment had space, decked out, it was all me

Down I-5 to a new home, I drove

To buy decor, to explore...

I remember the excitement driving down you when I met someone new

I bursted with joy and felt how I felt when I first met you

So last night when I thought I might be heartbroken again

I rested easy thinking about all the times we shared

As I drove home I realized I was already there

But in a better place, proud, I’m not back there.
