[Intro]
Late night
Windows down
Truth hits harder
When there’s no one around
[Verse 1]
I talk tough in the daytime
But the dark gets the real me
Little boy in a big truck
Tryna outrun what I can’t leave
I been kissin’ my bad habits
Like I’ll quit ‘em when I’m grown
But I’m grown, still at it
Still scared of goin’ home
[Chorus]
These are my confessions in the rearview
All the lies I told you ‘bout bein’ fine
All the prayers I promised that I’d live through
Then I crossed that line, every time
If the truth hits you like a heartbreak song
Turn it up loud, you can sing along
These are my confessions in the rearview
And I’m finally sayin’ ‘em out loud
[Verse 2]
I’ve been drunk on the attention
Stone cold to the ones I need
Turned love into competition
Kept score till I watched you leave
Mama said “boy, you’re tired”
Guess I learned how to fake my rest
Scrollin’ through a highlight reel
Feelin’ like a lifetime mess
[Chorus]
These are my confessions in the rearview
All the nights I swore I’d call you back
All the times I chose the fast lane through
Every red flag on the track
If the truth hits you like a heartbreak song
Turn it up loud, you can sing along
These are my confessions in the rearview
And I’m finally sayin’ ‘em out loud
[Bridge]
I’m not tryna be your hero (nah)
I’m just tired of this disguise
If I gotta stand here naked
Let it be in honest light
Yeah, I’m learnin’ how to mean it
Every “sorry” that I say
If you’re ridin’ with a bunch of secrets
Let ‘em jump out on the way (hey)
[Chorus]
These are my confessions in the rearview
Every scar I tried to hide with jokes
Every promise that I ran straight through
Till the trust turned into smoke
If the truth hits you like a heartbreak song
Turn it up loud, you can sing along
These are my confessions in the rearview
And I’m finally sayin’ ‘em out loud
[Outro]
Late night
Windows down
If you’re hurtin’
You can sing ‘em with me now
