[Intro]
(Engine humming... raining on the windshield...)
Sunday morning. 9:07 AM.
The house was looming dark.
I shouldn't be here, but my hands just steered the wheel.
(Mmm... I needed a spark.)
[Verse 1]
I drove by your place today, looking for a shadow in the glass
Looking for a single spark, watching all the memories pass
It looked like you weren't home, but for weeks I've been checking
Glancing over on my way home, my own boundaries I'm wrecking
Looking at your empty mailbox... wondering are you there?
Are you hiding in the gray, breathing in the silent air?
I keep circling the block, pretending I'm just driving through
But I'm overwhelmed and suffocating in the thoughts of you.
[Pre-Chorus]
My mind is spinning, the logic is gone
Why am I still out here holding on?
By the things we never got to say, the things we didn't do
You haven't sought me out, you left me in the cold and blue
I was right thinking you never really wanted me to hold!
You just wanted to control the narrative that you told!
[Chorus]
And my thoughts of low self-worth, why do you trigger me so?!
I’ve cried more over you than a man I used to know!
The one who said he wanted marriage, wanted to build a fate
But strung me along for seven long years, just making me wait!
Never wanting to be treated the same, falling apart...
You told me to be careful, acting so smart.
I should have been more careful with my heart!
[Post-Chorus]
(Watch the shadow, watch the glass... watch the seven years just pass...)
But you kept that heavy wall up.
(Watch the shadow, watch the glass... watch the seven years just pass...)
Leaving me standing all alone in the dust.
[Verse 2]
This hurts even deeper, being told to stay away
When all I want is to be quiet as a mouse, creeping through the gray
To tiptoe through the wreckage of what we used to be
To sneak into your house where nobody else can see
And maybe sneak into your heart, and finally make it right
Just two ghosts colliding in the middle of the night
But I was standing all alone, watching the distance bloom
While you prayed over me... I prayed for you in my secret room.
[Bridge]
You prayed over me! (While I prayed in my secret room!)
You washed your hands clean! (While I prayed in my secret room!)
Told me to be careful with you, told me to stay apart!
But you were the one who carelessly handled my heart!
Yeah, you played the holy card while holding me in the dark!
You left me looking in the window for a single spark!
[Chorus Acapella]
My thoughts of low self-worth, why do you trigger me so?
I’ve cried more over you than a man I used to know...
[Drop]
The one who strung me along for seven long years, sealing my fate!
But you told me to be careful, and now it's way too late!
[Outro]
I should have been more careful with you.
Quiet as a mouse.
The house was looming dark.
Just a shadow in the window.
(Mmm... I'm driving away.)
(My secret room...)
[End]
