Crash

Wasn't wishing on a star or wanting anything new
One relationship ended and I was happy on my own
Til you showed up going 110 mph

The first time we met, we didn't even talk
The second time I saw you, I was picking up your best friend
The third time, I pulled up next to your truck

Third times the charm I thought
My third relationship in two months
I wasn't looking for anything, but a friend

I was happy on my own and had my life together
I had a job, college classes, my last year of high school, and classes for work
Didn't think I could handle a relationship 

I lowered my standards for a boy I thought I saw forever with
He didn't have a job, failing school, and didn't have his life together
Yet, he was all I wanted and I fell for him fast.

We were in love a week later and he wanted to go 140 mph 
Yet, I wasn't ready so I hit the brakes and we got into a fight
He slowed down and didn't catch me when I fell

I was in love with him and gave him everything I could 
Yet, he was lying behind my back
Kissing other girls and made me promise not to talk to other guys

He didn't like me wearing makeup or dressing up 
Yet, I ignored all the wrong way signs because I was blind
I was driving in the dark without my glasses though I knew where we were headed

Yet, this big old tree stopped me from going anywhere with him
The windows shattered and my heart was broken
He left a big dent in my heart and I don't know how to fix it

Our love stopped like the car did when it hit the tree
Yet, he had already jumped out and left me in pain
My first love went and jumped in someone else's car

I will never drive the same way I drove with him
I have an extra pair of glasses in my car now
I will watch the wrong way signs from a mile away

A week after the crash, I was driving down the interstate
Going a 110 mph by myself... I fell in love with myself
No wrong way signs anymore.
