Crushed

(album: Crushed - 2022)

We crashed the car at the Lakewood exit
With shards of words and twisted metal
Saying one day we'll be friends
Bleeding out and reminiscing
How you stole my breath at the beginning
And right there at the end

They said that home would make it better
But the flowers wilted on the dresser
And the friends stopped checking in
Sleeping with the light on
Can't stop checking my vitals
It's a constant downward spiral
The extent to which you fucked me up

Oh baby, we fell apart the way we fell in love
Oh honey, you struck me down the way you lit me up
It was so fast, we got whiplash
Oh, the flashbacks are too much
Kissing your neck
Pushing my luck
Playing it back
Leaving me crushed

It was just you and me reclining in the car
But now the memory's colored dark
Yeah all the sweetness burned to tar, oh
Tar that paved the roads we drove on
I'm taking them alone
I hit the city limits
The most of you that I'll ever know

Oh baby, we fell apart the way we fell in love
Oh honey, you struck me down the way you lit me up
It was so fast, we got whiplash
Oh, the flashbacks are too much
Kissing your neck
Pushing my luck
Playing it back
Leaving me crushed

Just wanted to drive
But it's too late
I tried to dial
You just wanted to lay there baby
Watching your eyes well up
In the finality of us
Oh, I heard sirens
And they were screaming down the 105
Like a Hail Mary
Like we even stood a chance

It was so fast
We got whiplash
Oh, the flashbacks are too much
Stay in my bed
Dream of your touch
Kissing your neck
Pushing my luck
Years that we spent
Oh what a rush
Filling my head
Empty my cup
Tryna forget
How it ends up
Playing it back
Leaving me crushed
