Drive Lyrics

[Intro]
Mike WiLL Made-It

[Chorus]
Drive my heart into the night
You could drop the keys off in the morning (In the morning)
'Cause I don't wanna leave home
Without your love, without it

[Verse 1]
You told me that you wanted this
I told you it was all yours
If you're done with it, then what'd you say forever for?
If forever's out the door
I'll ignore when you call

[Chorus]
Drive my heart into the night, yeah
You could drop the keys off in the morning (In the morning)
'Cause I don't wanna leave home
Without your love, without it

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
You told me you were coming back, right back
You promised it was real, and I believed that
But if I fall for it again, I will be a fool
If our love is at the end, then why do I still want you? Yeah
But I guess I got no valentine
Send me roses, I'll just let 'em die

I was crazy thinkin' you were mine
It was all just a lie


[Chorus]
Drive my heart into the night
You could drop the keys off in the morning
'Cause I don't wanna leave home (Leave home)
Without your love, without it

[Bridge]
I always knew I never wanted this
I never thought it could happen (Never thought it could happen)
You acted like you wanted this
But then you led me on (Led me on)

I thought you would be there when I go (I go)
You promised you would be there when I go (I go)
But all the broken promises, I won't miss, I'm finished
All I know are the facts
That when I look you in the eyes, all I see are the lies
Been there, done that
[Chorus]
Drive my heart into the night (Night, yeah, yeah)
You could drop the keys off in the morning (In the morning)
'Cause I don't wanna leave home (Home)
Without your love, without it, yeah, yeah, uh

Miley sounds totally heartbroken in this electro-ballad. Who knows what was really going on with Liam, especially since he was spotted less than 24 hours after they announced their break up, kissing Eiza Gonzalez?

She said:

“I wrote [“Drive”] while I was working on Valentine’s Day. Emotionally it was such a hard time. It is about needing to leave someone but not really wanting to completely cut yourself off from the relationship. It’s a time when you want to leave but you can’t. It’s also about moving on.”

It’s clear she and Liam were having problems then and she decided to put what she was going through into her song.
