[Verse 1]
You laughed and said
"It won't work now,"
I was mapping out the whole house
Kids
My last name on your license
You blinked once
Then you wanted less
You packed your dreams in a weekend bag
Left my heart on an unmade mattress
Thought I knew what forever meant
You rewrote it in a single sentence
[Chorus]
Love and hate
Crash in my chest like a car on the highway
I miss those hazel eyes
They were the reason I breathed
The reason I smiled
Love and hate
Screaming your name, but it echoes sideways
You killed the life we planned
Now I’m just holding air in my hands
[Verse 2]
Sunday lists on your kitchen wall
Trips
Vows
Dogs
And a shotgun wedding
I was tracing futures on your skin
You were already half-unthreading
You said
"You’ll be better off,"
But you never asked if I wanted better
You just walked out
Took the sun
Left me living on the old promises
Without closure
[Chorus]
Love and hate
Crash in my chest like a car on the highway
I miss those hazel eyes
They were the reason I breathed
The reason I smiled
Love and hate
Screaming your name, but it echoes sideways
You killed the life we planned
Now I’m just holding air in my hands
[Bridge]
I still set a place for you
At a table that we never built
Talk to chairs and empty rooms
Drown in plans you left to wilt
How do I stay mad at those eyes
That kept me breathing
That kept me sane? (yeah)
[A soft sad very emotional guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Love and hate
Crash in my chest like a car on the highway
I miss those hazel eyes
They were the reason I breathed
The reason I smiled
Love and hate
Screaming your name, but it echoes sideways
You ended all I drew
But I’m still stuck here
Living for a ghost of you
