Whiplash

Late night, I try to focus on the blurred lights
Neon signs and my hands are freezing
Snow blind with my head down with the wind in my eyes
This icy road stares back
Thereʼs only so much hope when every place I go
Reminds me Iʼll never get back home
But thereʼs no time, I look up into headlights
The screeching tires seem to call my name
I deserve this, itʼs all true
Iʼm burning up
Everything you said hit me like a car wreck
Face down on the cold ground
Slipping away as the past comes back
Iʼm face down on the cold ground
Slipping away as it fades to black
Whiplash, a thousand thoughts converge on impact
I cry for help
But thereʼs no one left and the silence wins again
Iʼm barely breathing as they call my name
I deserve this, itʼs all true
Iʼm burning up
Everything you said
Hit me like a car wreck
Face down on the cold ground
Slipping away as the past comes back
Iʼm face down on the cold ground
Slipping away as it fades to black
But in the pouring rain
I never felt like that, you said you felt the same
Canʼt spend another day here
I keep looking back as youʼre looking away
Everything you said hit me like a car wreck
Everything, everything you said hit me like a car wreck
Iʼm no better than bad luck
Walk away while you can
Walk away while you can
Turn the page then nail the book shut
Just walk away while you can
Just walk away while you can
Just walk away
Face down on the cold ground
Slipping away as the past comes back
Iʼm face down on the cold ground
Slipping away as it fades to black
But in the pouring rain
I never felt like that, you said you felt the same
Canʼt spend another day here
I keep looking back as youʼre looking away
Just walk away while you can
Just walk away while you can
