Hit and Run

Lights out in the crosswalk
You blindside me
Lying facedown in the street
With my broken teeth

I'm bleeding out, I see you've gone
This is a hit and run

Someone will call for help
Someone will save the day
But nobody's movin
No one has a word to say

I read your eyes, they said, You're Mine
The pace was steady, all seemed fine
I just needed time

Hindsight makes this ache
Like a pounding heart full of terror
And I won't stand for watching you fade away
In my rearview mirror

Broken down and gasping
No recourse will come
Inaction is what brought me here
to this hit and run

Nobody's made that call
Concern grows in their eyes
Still, nobody's movin
No one thinks that I'll survive

I read your eyes, they said, Entwined
But those were lies
This impact is hard to describe

Hindsight makes this sting
like the burning blink of a fever
And I am helplessly watching you fade away
In my rearview mirror

I never knew you suffered silently
You pined for me, now it shows
Eroding from the inside, it swallows me whole
To think, I've died to you, don't let go
Not knowing what you needed, I buried my soul
So much for happy endings
This dies out in the cold

Hindsight makes this burn
like the dressing ripped from a flesh wound
And now I see you shrinking away, away, yeah

Hindsight sheds bright light on my choices
That pushed you so far away
And now you have disappeared
In my rearview mirror
My rearview mirror
My rearview mirror
My rearview mirror
My rearview mirror
My rearview mirror
