I drove off to college last year
Just like we always talked about
'Cause you were so excited for me
We'd beat the distance by the clock,
But today I drove through the suburbs
Crying 'cause you weren't around
And you're probably with that one girl
Who I hear makes you laugh
You seem to be happy with her
That's everything I'm insecure about
Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?
And I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you sang in those songs about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
And all my friends are tired
Of hearing how much I miss you, but
I kinda feel sorry for them
'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do
Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs
And pictured I was driving home to you
And I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt this way for no one, oh
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
I guess you didn't mean what you sang in those songs about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face in the crosswalks, backyards,
Can't drive past the places we used to go to
'Cause I still f*cking love you, babe, ooh
Lakes and starlights
I still hear your voice in the traffic
We're laughing over all the noise
God, I'm so blue, know we're through
But I know that I've lost you babe, ooh
I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
'Cause you didn't mean what you sang in those songs about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Yeah, you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
