[Verse 1]
Left my life in Tennessee
Packed it all in a U-Haul prayer
Chased your sun to California
Thought I'd find forever there
You were sayin' I was crazy
Every time I called it out
You were busy buildin' secrets
While I was buildin' us a house
[Chorus]
You totaled my Camry on the 10
But baby that ain't how you broke me
You crashed every bit of who I am
‘Til the mirror wouldn't even know me
I died for you a thousand times
You just watched me fade to thin air
Guess I never mattered much to you
And I hate me more for ever thinkin' you cared
[Verse 2]
You were flirtin' in the barlight
Callin' it "just in my head"
Turned my doubts into a weapon
Laid 'em with you in our bed
You said I was hard to love
So I tried to disappear
Shrank myself to fit your story
Lost my voice inside your fear
[Chorus]
You totaled my Camry on the 10
But baby that ain't how you broke me
You crashed every bit of who I am
‘Til the mirror wouldn't even know me
I died for you a thousand times
You just watched me fade to thin air
Guess I never mattered much to you
And I hate me more for ever thinkin' you cared
[Bridge]
Now I'm standin' on this shoreline (hey)
With your ghost still on my phone
Every wave that hits my ankles
Says, "Boy, you gotta walk home"
I ain't askin' you to miss me
Or to ever make it right
I'm just learnin' how to love the man
You taught me how to fight
[Chorus]
You totaled my Camry on the 10
But you ain't gonna be the end of me
You crashed every bit of who I am
But I'm pullin' my heart from the wreckage, finally
I died for you a thousand times
You still never even said a prayer
Guess I never mattered much to you
But I'm tryin' not to hate myself for ever thinkin' you cared
