I Was a Deer in Your Headlights

I was a deer in your headlights
You hit the gas and never did turn back
How would my life be
If you hit the brakes instead of me?

I wasn't myself
In our last conversation
You filled in words
When I put hesitations

You hung up and I hung my head
Four years ended in one second

We were withering
Like flowers dead on the concrete
Your name's still lingering
Like my secondhand smoke on your old jeans

The pictures of our past torn
Buried in your junk drawer
Honestly, I don't blame you anymore
Cause we were withering
Like flowers dead on the concrete

You were in my arms
With someone else in your head
I don't miss you as bad as I used to
I just miss who I was when I still loved you

We were withering
Like flowers dead on the concrete
Your name's still lingering
Like my secondhand smoke on your old jeans

The pictures of our past torn
Buried in your junk drawer
Honestly, I don't blame you anymore
Cause we were withering
Like flowers dead on the concrete

My last words to you were hidden behind held back tears
And a bad phone connection
When you hung up four years ended in one second
I just miss who I was when I still loved you
I was a deer caught in your headlights

We were withering
Like flowers dead on the concrete
Your name's still lingering
Like my secondhand smoke on your old jeans

The pictures of our past torn
Buried in your junk drawer
Honestly, I don't blame you anymore
We were withering
Like flowers, like flowers
