Train Wreck
Jenna McDaniel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Loving you is like a head on crash
Don′t know how it happens but it happened so fast
Just when I think we're on the right track
You′re gone, gone, gone

I'm left standing, picking up the pieces
Like another broken heart is just what I need
Couldn't see it then, but now I′m believing
That it′s wrong, wrong, wrong

Loving you is like a train wreck
Like a one way bound for regret
I know just what to expect
When you come knocking at my door
Sorry but I'll take a rain check
Moving on with what I have left
And do my best to forget
Cause one thing I know for sure
Is you′re a train wreck
A train wreck

I bought your ticket too many times
You derail on the drop of a dime
To do it again, I'd be outta my mind
Cause you′re wrong, wrong, wrong

Loving you is like a train wreck
Like a one way bound for regret
I know just what to expect
When you come knocking at my door
Sorry but I'll take a rain check
Moving on with what I have left
And do my best to forget
Cause one thing I know for sure




Is you′re a train wreck
A train wreck

Loving you is like a train wreck
Like a one way bound for regret
I know just what to expect
When you come knocking at my door
Hey, I'll take a rain check
Moving on with what I have left
And do my best to forget
Cause one thing I know for sure
Is you're a train wreck
A train wreck
Baby, you′re a train wreck

Line by Line Meaning

Loving you is like a head on crash
The love I have for you is reckless and dangerous


Don′t know how it happens but it happened so fast
I can't explain why I fell for you so quickly


Just when I think we're on the right track
Just when I think our relationship is getting better


You′re gone, gone, gone
You suddenly leave and break my heart again


I'm left standing, picking up the pieces
I'm left to deal with the aftermath of our relationship ending


Like another broken heart is just what I need
I don't need another heartbreak in my life


Couldn't see it then, but now I′m believing
I didn't realize how bad our relationship was until now


That it′s wrong, wrong, wrong
Our relationship is not healthy or good for me


I bought your ticket too many times
I gave you too many chances in our relationship


You derail on the drop of a dime
You quickly and easily ruin everything in our relationship


To do it again, I'd be outta my mind
I would be crazy to give our relationship another chance


Hey, I'll take a rain check
I'll pass on giving our relationship another try


Moving on with what I have left
I'm trying to move forward with what I have after our relationship ended


And do my best to forget
I'm doing my best to move on and forget about you


Cause one thing I know for sure
I'm certain that our relationship is a mess and not worth it


Is you're a train wreck
You're a complete disaster in our relationship


A train wreck
Our relationship is doomed for failure, just like a train wreck
