Backseat of My Mind

You left your sweater on my chair

Still smells like your perfume, still feels like you’re there

Scrolling through your pictures like a fool

Arguing with screenshots, talking to my room

You said “we’ll be fine” then you ghosted

Said I’d be alright, now I’m folded

Every little promise you posted

Burns on my tongue when I quote it

You’re still riding in the backseat of my mind

Feet up on the dash of every night

I keep driving through the memories and the signs

But I can’t leave you behind, can’t leave you behind

Heartbreak on repeat, same song every time

I delete your name and it rewinds

You’re still riding in the backseat of my mind

And you won’t, and you won’t, let me slide (oh)

Friends say “give it time, you’ll heal”

But they never watched you laugh, they don’t know it was real

Typing out a message I erase

Every single word feels like it’s begging you to stay

You said “it’s not you,” yeah, that cliché

If it wasn’t me, then why’s my chest this way?

Told me you were scared of the crash

Then you pushed us off the edge, never looked back

You’re still riding in the backseat of my mind

Feet up on the dash of every night

I keep driving through the memories and the signs

But I can’t leave you behind, can’t leave you behind

Heartbreak on repeat, same song every time

I delete your name and it rewinds

You’re still riding in the backseat of my mind

And you won’t, and you won’t, let me slide (yeah)

I tried new faces, new places, same ending

Different hands, same ache I keep defending (why?)

I’m blocking your number again, again

But you live in the spaces between every breath I spend (ooh)

You’re still riding in the backseat of my mind

Feet up on the dash of every night

I keep driving through the memories and the signs

But I can’t leave you behind, can’t leave you behind

Heartbreak on repeat, same song every time

I delete your name and it rewinds

You’re still riding in the backseat of my mind

Till I brake, till I break, and you slide
