**[Intro]**
Yeah, yeah
Heart too fast, I can’t slow it down
Too many thoughts when you’re not around
Running from myself all through this town
If I crash tonight, would you stick around?
**[Chorus]**
I’ve been racing, racing, running from the pain
Heart doing a hundred, swerving through the rain
Memories chase me, screaming out your name
No matter where I go, it all feels the same
Racing, racing, tryna get away
Foot down on the gas, but the past won’t fade
You said forever, then forever went to waste
Now I’m flying through the night with tears on my face
**[Verse 1]**
Dash lights glowing, 2:30 in the morning
Phone on silent, but your pictures keep calling
Said I moved on, guess I’m better at talking
Every road I take leads back where we started
Scars underneath what I show to the world
Lost myself giving everything to a girl
You were my peace, then you flipped up my world
Now my head spins fast when the tires start to burn
Foot on the gas, I don’t wanna think
Stop for a second, I’m back on the brink
You said love was forever, forever was quick
Now your name on my heart like permanent ink
**[Pre-Chorus]**
Red lights, I’m flying right through
Can’t outrun anything tied back to you
Rearview full of what we went through
Wish I could go back, but what would that do?
**[Chorus]**
I’ve been racing, racing, running from the pain
Heart doing a hundred, swerving through the rain
Memories chase me, screaming out your name
No matter where I go, it all feels the same
Racing, racing, tryna get away
Foot down on the gas, but the past won’t fade
You said forever, then forever went to waste
Now I’m flying through the night with tears on my face
**[Verse 2]**
Gas light flashing, I still won’t stop
Running on empty since everything dropped
Love went cold, made my whole heart lock
Now I fight these demons round the clock
Everybody says I gotta move on
They don’t see the nights when the strength is gone
Eyes on the ceiling till the early dawn
Still hear your voice even though you’re gone
Maybe I’m hooked on the hurt and the speed
Maybe all this running ain’t what I need
I wanted your heart, you wanted to leave
Now I pick up the pieces while my hands still bleed
**[Bridge]**
Slow down, slow down
That’s what my head keeps saying
My heart won’t listen
It just keeps racing
No brakes, no brakes
I’m scared of what I’m facing
So I keep driving
Like the road might save me
**[Final Chorus]**
I’ve been racing, racing, running from the pain
Heart doing a hundred, swerving through the rain
Memories chase me, screaming out your name
But tonight I’m done driving myself insane
Racing, racing, now I’m changing lanes
Maybe I can heal without running away
You were a chapter, you don’t decide my fate
So I’m letting off the gas ’fore it gets too late
**[Outro]**
Yeah, I’m letting off the gas
I can’t keep living this fast
Some things belong in the past
I’m done racing from that
Yeah...
