[Verse 1]
Last row in the club, I’m tucked back
Bottle on chill, but my chest feel packed
Phone on DND, still it lightin’ like mad
All these names I don’t know, say they love what I have
Driver waitin’ on the side, engine hummin’ real low
You ask me if I’m happy, I just stare through the smoke
I’m a guest in my life, like I’m watchin’ a show
Every cheer, every toast feel cold
[Chorus]
Backseat confessions on a Sunday night
Tell you my secrets by the traffic lights
You say I’m here but I’m lost inside
Fame in my hands, but it cost my mind
I’ve been up, I’ve been down that road
Too many faces, but I still die alone
Backseat confessions, I just need you to know
If I let you in, don’t let me go (don’t let me go)
[Verse 2]
Two texts from my ex say she proud of my wins
Then a third say she hate who I turned into since
Mama send a prayer, said she stayin’ up late
I reply with a heart, but I don’t got the space
All this talk about goals, they just seein’ the net
They don’t see me in the mirror, takin’ blame, holdin’ breath
You trace lines on my palm, say my future look bright
But my past in the back, ridin’ with us tonight
[Chorus]
Backseat confessions on a Sunday night
Tell you my secrets by the traffic lights
You say I’m here but I’m lost inside
Fame in my hands, but it cost my mind
I’ve been up, I’ve been down that road
Too many faces, but I still die alone
Backseat confessions, I just need you to know
If I let you in, don’t let me go (yeah, don’t let me go)
[Bridge]
You ask what I want
I pause, then I laugh
Is it peace? Is it plaques?
Can I have both, or they clash?
You rest your head on my chest, say
“I just want you in the present, not the press, babe”
Your whisper cutin’ through the sirens and the airwaves
For a second I forget about the next stage
[Chorus]
Backseat confessions on a Sunday night
Tell you my secrets by the traffic lights
You say I’m here but I’m lost inside
Fame in my hands, but it cost my mind
I’ve been up, I’ve been down that road
Too many faces, but I still die alone
Backseat confessions, I just need you to know
If I let you in, don’t let me go (don’t let me go)
