[Verse 1] We knew this would never last
I have my fears and you had your past
But you look so right I had to ask
How could I see the harm in that
So think of me driving fast
Blacked out in a Pontiac
It will break my heart
If you'll ever darken
Don't crack

[Chorus] I didn't want to drag you down
But when you weren't around I lost my crown
Couldn't take the sound
Of your breath not being there
I didn't want to drag it on
I was gone too long
All I left was the tape
Of the songs I was writing
It made your arms more empty

[Verse 2] Had no chance to end it well
How far I fell
No way to tell
Couldn't hurt you like the last
Wouldn't waste what time you had
So think of me driving fast
It's called I loved killed my ass
Girl save yourself
Don't take this hell
Leave me don't look back

[Chorus] I didn't want to drag you down
But when you weren't around I lost my crown
Couldn't take the sound
Of your breath not being there
I didn't want to drag it on
I was gone too long
All I left was the tape
Of the songs I​ was writing
It made your arms more empty

[Verse 3] We knew that i was bound to crack
How my fears only wanted me in bed
You were hooked that night i had to ask
How could i see the harm in that
So think of me driving fast
Blacked out in a Pontiac
It will break my heart
If you'll ever darken
Don't crack
I didn't want to drag you down
But when you weren't around I lost my crown
Couldn't take the sound
Of your breath not being there

[Outro] I didn't want to drag it on
I was gone too long
All I left was the tape
Of the songs I​ was writing
It just made your arms more empty
