Cherokee Avenue

I left my heart on Cherokee Avenue
I should’ve known the dead end I was headed to
I’d be lying if I said a part of me didn’t love you
But it’s an illusion, how the sky is blue

Don’t tell me how you are or respond to my friends
You think you’re better now that it has an end
I know the truth, I know what you needed
I’m just trying to retrieve the heart that I gave you
On Cherokee Avenue

All of these noises can’t say what I’ve been through
It’s something subliminal like how I needed you
I would have fought till the end of the world to
Show you just how much I was convicted
But it doesn’t matter, I’m planting a new garden
In a place where the streets never end

It’s nothing like Cherokee Avenue
