Brake Lights

Tyre tracks stretch from here to who knows where
The smell of car still hanging in the air
The dust and truth are setting in
You're gone and you're not coming back again

And it all happened so fast, out the door with your bags
No explanation (no explanation), no hesitation
And I'm still standing here, frozen with tears in my eyes

'Cause I was hoping for brake lights
Flashin' red in the middle of the street and the door opens
And you get out, say you don't know what you were thinkin'
Never gonna leave, but, no, I didn't even see brake lights

Am I supposed to go back in the house now
Or get into my car and chase you down?
Well, honestly, I don't know what to do
Still can't wrap my head 'round the fact that I lost you

And it all happened so fast, out the door with your bags
No explanation (no explanation), no hesitation
And I'm still standing here, frozen with tears in my eyes

'Cause I was hoping for brake lights
Flashin' red in the middle of the street and the door opens
And you get out, say you don't know what you were thinkin'
Never gonna leave, but, no, I didn't even see brake lights
No, I didn't even see brake lights

I saw zero to 80
Your bright headlights fading out into the dark
And I'm still in the dark

'Cause it happened so fast
Out the door with your bags
And I was hopin' for brake lights
Flashin' red in the middle of the street and the door opens
And you get out, say you don't know what you were thinkin'
Never gonna leave, but, no, I didn't even see brake lights
Flashin' red in the middle of the street and the door opens
And you get out, say you don't know what you were thinkin'
Never gonna leave, but, no, I didn't even see brake lights
Break lights (no, I didn't even see brake lights)
