[Verse 1]

There's a fault in my structure

It's always you and never me

I threw the blame and it shattered

And now there's broken glass praying to be healed

You struck a chord and I listened

You damn near broke all the strings

When you get close, I get distant

Instead, I'll drive away to a place surreal

And tell me how that feels


[Chorus]

Took the brake pads out the car

And I flew

Smashed this window in my heart

And I blamed you

This anger's taking me apart

Explosive truths

Except, this time, I went too far

And I hurt you

I wish I could take it back right now


[Verse 2]

Where's that smile when it matters?

Where was I when you called?

I shot the blame and it scattered

Now there's bullet holes spread across the walls

I took the shape of a letter

Slipped myself underneath your door

In this red room, we develop

An understanding of all our wrongs

Now can we move along?


[Chorus]

Took the brake pads out the car

And I flew

Smashed this window in my heart

And I blamed you

This anger's taking me apart

Explosive truths

Except, this time, I went too far

And I hurt you

I wish I could take it back right—
