Where Did the Music Go?

It's 2 in the morning and I'm the only one still awake
I'm still stuck in the past trying to fix the mistakes
I use to be alive, our song playing in my head
Now all I can hear is the last thing you said
I've cried a million tears and wished on a million stars
I haven't gotten you back yet but I've got a million scars
And I'm sitting in the quiet 'cause I can't stand the radio
And I can't help but ask myself, where did the music go?
I remember me laughing and spinning in the sun
I remember you smiling and having so much fun
Now I'm sitting in the quiet but I still hear the reality
Nothing in this world will ever bring you back to me
And instead of the tune we called our song
Instead of your voice singing along
All I can hear is tires screech
Gun shots and your quivering voice whispering
Please don't forget about me
It's 2 am and I'm the only one awake
They ask me to forgive them for their mistakes
I laugh like a madman as the truth unfolds
Denying the fact that the world is so cold
And I'm sitting in the quiet 'cause I can't stand the radio
But I can't help but ask myself, where did the music go?
We use to dance along the Carolina coast
The only thing we argued about was who loved who the most
Now I'm looking in the mirror wearing a yellow bloodstained dress
Makeup running down my face, I look like one big mess
I remember I spent that summer falling for you
Going crazy over everything that you use to do
You use to sing me a song you wrote that can't be found on the radio
But I'll never hear that song again, God, where did the music go?
