Texty: Alexz Johnson. Songs From Instant Star Four. Pavement.

How did I end up like this?
I'm driving you around and taking care of your kids
And maybe baby I should have listened to my folks
'Cause now I'm stuck in pavement on the road
How did I end up like this?
All the plans I had were choked by your evil kiss
And maybe baby I should have listened to my folks
'Cause now I'm stuck in pavement on the road
Yeah now I'm stuck in pavement on the road
How did I sink down this deep?
I'm rolling like a stone and babe the hill is rather steep
And maybe baby I should have never loved you so
'Cause now I'm stuck in pavement on the road
Yeah now I'm stuck in pavement on the

And babe the silver lost its shine long time ago
And I'm stuck on the inside watching us grow old
Never once realized I must pay for my mistakes
Sentenced to a pavement grave
Sentenced to a pavement grave

What did I leave behind?
A life I could've had that's now buried by the sands of time
If only I came to all my chains and ropes attached to me
But all I have is cold, dead destiny
What did I leave behind?
If only I could burst the words "I'm yours and you are mine"
'Cause maybe baby I could've had a lovely life
Instead I'm just another sour wife
Instead I'm just your sweetly sour

And babe the silver lost its shine long time ago
And I'm stuck on the inside watching us grow old
Never once realized I must pay for my mistakes
Sentenced to a pavement grave
Sentenced to a pavement grave

La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La da da oh oh oh
La la la la ah
La la la ah oh
La da da da

How did I end up like this?
I'm driving you around and taking care of your kids
And maybe baby I should have listened to my folks
And now I'm stuck in pavement on the road

And babe the silver lost its shine long time ago
And I'm stuck on the inside watching us grow old
Never once realized I must pay for my mistakes
Sentenced to a pavement grave
Sentenced to a pavement grave
