A Reckless Heart

this is the road i have taken
not the usual route for happy endings
no precautions and no speed limits

i took whatever came my way
leaving skid marks of endless follies
and a trail of hits and misses

i drove through life without a brake
as if each day maybe the last
if love comes, it will soon pass

now it's too late for turning back
to retrace and find the missing parts
of a cold and bleeding restless heart
