Don't Tell

Going eighty in a twenty on Saturday night
Our vision is clouded by the light that's in our eyes
We don't have nowhere else to go so we just drive
We're ignoring all the signs
I want things to feel all right
There are fires on the bottoms of his shoes
A hellish beauty I cannot convey to you
He sits in the front seat of my car, the wind blows through
His dark hair and baby blues
His sleeves are filled with his tattoos

It's been decided
I'm left here cryin'

Sunsets in color
A blood red lover
Don't tell your mother about the reasons that I cry
Sunsets in color
I'm not your lover
Don't tell your mother about the things we do tonight

The air is dripping with the words that hide the truth
I don't wanna look back upon the worst days of my youth
The thrill that I get inside my chest it's all brand new
But I will ignore it all I chose
To drop the top and we can cruise
The bass of the music reaches deep into my soul
He tells me he's got something that he wants me to know
I struggle to keep my line of sight above his nose
One look at his mouth and then I'm home
But all that he wants is more control

I'm through with cryin'

Sunsets in color
A blood red lover
Don't tell your mother about the reasons that I cry
Sunsets in color
I'm not your lover
Don't tell your mother about the things we do tonight
Sunsets in color
A blood red lover
Don't tell your mother about the things we do tonight
Sunsets in color
I'm not you lover
Don't tell your mother if you can't look me in the eye
