[Verse 1]
Well, there's two sides to my tail lights
And they both don't work right
There's a motel on the highway
And a hundred miles outside
Of Nashville and I still don't
Know when I can come home
But I promised I would try, so
I might be a coward

[Chorus]
Well, the first cut was the deepest
But it healed up whole
And the next one was a soft touch
But it bled out below
We were a team 'til you're toxic
I mean, you talk shit often
But once upon a time
We were in lovе

[Verse 2]
Well, there's two sidеs to a fair fight
And you're the third man out
I was hopeful with a slow hand
And I got gunned down
Well, you asked me if I could grow up
But I don't know why for
I don't know much, I'm a palm frond
Dying on the front porch
[Chorus]
Well, the first cut was the deepest
But it healed up whole
And the last one was a clean hit
But I bled out below
We were a team 'til you're toxic
I mean, you talk shit often
But once upon a time
We were in love

[Verse 3]
Know there's two lanes on a highway
And I passed you by
Thought about calling, but I deleted your number
And we both know why

[Bridge]
Truth is when I met you, well, you know you made me cry
And I knew you for a second, you were gone in flashing lights
But since I had one, lost one, oh, at least I said goodbye
What's done is done is not enough to describe
When I met you, I regret you if it makes for the longest ride
If I let you stay in my head, then it's overnight
You like when I sing our songs about us
Well, you like when I sing our songs about us in the rain
I exorcise us, baby, I'm working out the pain
Well, I knew you had a heart, but, God, I knew just how you were
If I'd have known you, I'd have cloned you just to see you hurt
[Verse 4]
Well, there's two sides to a timeline
And they all have got the same arc
When I'm next to you, I can wave to you
Because we're miles apart
Know you wrote me 'bout you changed things
But, baby, you know me
I don't read a damn thing
Don't ever read a damn thing

[Chorus]
Well, the first cut was the deepest
But it healed up whole
And the last one was a clean hit
But I bled out below
We were a team 'til you're toxic
I mean, you talk shit often
But once upon a time
We were in love

[Outro]
Well, there's two lanes on a highway
And I passed you by
Thought about calling, but I deleted your number
And we both know why
