Lyrics

when I'm stuck or when I'm lost in thought
you don't give me fish, you take the rod
like a shop window you constantly
reflect and then attack my self esteem
i know i can count on
you let me know what you would do
or what to improve
I guess that you're just trying to help
but only make it worse
you're a backseat driver
(oh if I only knew)
you're a ghostwriter
(just how to tell you)
you wouldn't believe
I know you've been wondering why she's gone
(now you sit in solitude)
and I always thought you know it all
(now you sit in solitude)
someone should be telling you the truth
but who am I to give advice to you?
(now you're sitting)
if it's about what you would do
to fall in love with you
I guess that you're just trying to help
but only make it worse
you're a backseat driver
(oh If I only knew)
you're a ghostwriter
(just how to tell you)
you're a backseat driver
(oh If I only knew)
uncalled advisor
(just how to tell you)
you wouldn't believe
