Down, down the backstreet
And you know I can't stop searching
I'm running from the nightmares
But I just can't stop the hurting

I feel like a loser
'Cause you won't god forgive me
I'll show I'm only human
Face the long dark road alone

I want love, I can't resist you
I cannot lose what I'm not gonna have
Night driving on a motorway
I'm alive, I'm alive

Another endless evening
Facing shadows in the darkness
Impossible to silence
Have to face myself alone

I want love, I can't resist you
I cannot lose what I'm not gonna have
White lines on a motorway
I'm alive, I'm alive

Drive, drive to feel I'm alive
Drive, drive to keep me alive
Driving through the endless night
Guiding me your blinding light

Fight the pain, fight the pain
Fight the pain, fight the pain
In my soul, behind the wheel
Don't let go, don't let go
