Lyrics

Broken, bad as hell, unspoken
Pain is never showing
Smoking cigarettes on I-95
She does what she wanna
Blames it on the trauma
Head out the window
She's always been on my mind
Met a girl down south
Met a girl down south
Met a girl down south
What a motormouth!
Wont tell you much in spite of it all
Likes to pose real cute by the bathroom wall and
We shoot the shit about her whip in the lot
She learned a lot in college once, but she forgot
She cracks a Coca-Cola, Dad's from Pensacola
Emergency contact, she's blocking his texts
I say "You like contradictions!"
She says "Yeah, and I'm happier than you
Worked so hard and when you see it through
I never got closer to the truth
But hey! I got these boots for free
Big shot down in Texas wants a ring on me
Why shackle in if I've never been free?
Imma seal up the cracks with the highway heat I'm-"
Broken, Bad as hell, Unspoken
Pain is never showing
Smoking cigarettes on I-95
She does what she wanna
Blames it on the trauma
Head out the window
She's always been on my mind
Met a girl down south
Met a girl down south
Met a girl down south
She doesn't disappoint!
I told her things about my life
She doesn't get the point
It's why I'm hiding by the bar just trying to avoid-
SHH!
If you're happy when you're letting em down
Let em down hell no
Let it out the door
Take it out to the floor
Let em down some more
If you cant take it anymore, don't take em with you
They're boring!
She says I'm the contradiction
No shit! You're happier than me
Got no cause, no people that you please
I BECAME WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE!
I'm struggling with what's coming after
What I do is who I am and I am a disaster
I would hit the pavement with you if I grew faster
She says "It ain't a race"
Plants a kiss on my face and she's
Gone
