passenger seat rides

you got with me in the car
not even a clue where we were heading
couple shimmers of sun as it was setting
and it looked kinda pretty
so you said let’s drive to a place
where no one can find us
some guy on your dashboard
a friendly reminder
that i’m not the only one

know i won’t get too close
to even let you go
and i don’t know how to feel loved
but feel alone
now there’s not a single word
that could tell how much you hurt
please don’t put up a fight

i didn’t realize
but we were bound to fall apart
yeah we’ve been runnin’ on empty from the start
even though it felt so right
tried to stop you but you never would
i carry on, i search a place
where i belong, you’d never know
where we went wrong
i’m so exhausted
know you called it
guess i blocked it

know i won’t get too close
to even let you go
and i don’t know how to feel loved
but feel alone
now there’s not a single word
that could tell how much you hurt
please don’t put up a fight

and that should’ve been my sign
to look for the red flags,
just car seats and headrests
but baby i’m colour blind
so no need to care
and all the stop signs looked like green lights
just keep going straight, never turn right
wanted to hold you forever but right now it just tears me apart

know i won’t get too close
to even let you go
and i don’t know how to feel loved
but feel alone
now there’s not a single word
that could tell how much you hurt
please don’t put up a fight
