Figures in Fiction - Black Ice

My headlights don't shine as bright as they used to
It's hard to see the black ice on the road when I only have the fog to look into
The deafening sound from my car speakers keeps me from thinking
About what I did to get you to where you are now

Now I'm pacing back and forth between hospital rooms looking for you
These flowers are wilting in my clenched fist
Your friends haven't seen me the same since the accident
I only have myself to blame
I'm been feeling sick 'cause I know I should have listened

I called your sister as soon as I could build up my composure
I still broke down halfway
I covered your wounds with my jacket, but you still fell unconscious
I could only hold you close until the ambulance came

Now I'm pacing back and forth between hospital rooms looking for you
These flowers are wilting in my clenched fist
Your friends haven't seen me the same since the accident
I only have myself to blame
I'm been feeling sick 'cause I know I should have listened

Now I can only hope and pray that you can make it out okay
I know forgiveness is out of reach for me
I've been looking over your sleeping figure hoping one day you will wake
And that I'll get a second chance to learn from my mistake
