CRASH
Witt Lowry Lyrics

I know you see the hurt and the pain written on my face
I acknowledge that my pain is apparent and visible to you

Been thinking ′bout what you think about when you think about me
I wonder about your thoughts and perception of me

If everything crashes your eyes are where I feel safe
Your presence makes me feel secure, even if everything else falls apart

If all we have left is tonight then I wanted to say
In case this is our last moment together, I have something important to express

Say no more, but, tell me this (what)
I don't need explanations, but I want to hear your truth

Can you taste the pain in me, on my lips
Can you sense my hurt from my demeanor or my words

Question when I saw your face was, who is this?
When I first saw you, I was wondering who you were

I was shooting for the stars and was shooting from the hip
I was aiming high, but also just going with the flow of life

Just know that I would never change you
I accept and appreciate you for who you are

Bless the woman that made you
I am grateful for the person and experiences that shaped you

Bless the people who came around when
I am thankful for those who supported you when you were struggling

You were down and out and then saved you
Those who helped you during tough times were a lifesaver

Fuck the people who played you
I have no respect for those who mistreated or hurt you

Your wall is up I don't blame you
I understand why you might be guarded or defensive

I just want you to know your worth
You deserve to know how valuable and important you are

And to love you the way that God made you
I will love and accept you just the way you are

All I wanna do is be there for you through it all
I want to support you and be present for you in good and bad times

Think about the nights when I would wait up for your call
I recall the times I waited eagerly for you to reach out to me

My ex made me believe you can′t trust anyone at all
My past relationship made me feel skeptical and untrusting

It's funny how the more you build the farther you can fall
Sometimes success or progress can make us more vulnerable to failure or disappointment

When I had no money we would eat and you would pay
You supported me during a time of financial struggle

Sorry if you ever felt I ever made you chase
I apologize if I ever made you feel like you had to pursue me excessively

Why you wasting time always staring at your waist?
I question why you are focusing on insecurities about your appearance

I just wanna trust you love you more now every day
I desire to have a deeper, trusting love for you with each passing day

We're at this diner that we found
We are currently at a restaurant that we stumbled upon

Somewhere between then and now
This place exists somewhere between our past and present experiences

And I ask if you want jam for your toast
I offer a small gesture of kindness by asking if you would like a condiment

You spent the night the other day
You stayed over at my place recently

So many things I could say
I have many thoughts and feelings to express

Instead I just shy away and I choke
Despite my desire to communicate, I struggle to express myself

Uh, and I′m supposed to be a poet
As someone who writes songs, I should be skilled at expressing myself

So open with my emotions
I am typically candid and forthcoming about my feelings

And all I can ask about is your toast
Despite wanting to express myself, I can only muster up small talk

I guess I′m glad you didn't leave
I am relieved that you have stayed in my life

′Cause you make me a better me
You have a positive impact on me and help me improve as a person

And you see the Mark no one sees when I'm low, so
You understand me in ways that others cannot even when I am struggling

Now after seasons of talking and watching night turn to morning
After many conversations and time spent together, we have grown closer

And telling stories a second time when you feel they're important
We value each other's stories and experiences enough to recount them multiple times

The love I have for you is rare I was just scared ′cause it's foreign
My feelings for you are unique and significant, but I was afraid to embrace them because they were unfamiliar

That had me thinking should I stop or shoot my shot like I'm Gordon
I debated whether to take a chance on our relationship or hold back and miss the opportunity

And still I flashback to the crash that could′ve ended we
I recall a past traumatic experience where our lives were in danger

The glass smashed somewhere past that′s when you said to me
During the accident, you spoke comforting words to me

"You'll be alright", thought if I′m not then I'll pretend to be
While I appreciated your reassurance, I felt the need to pretend to be okay even if I wasn't

I′m thankful every day you found your way and then was lead to me
I am grateful that our paths crossed and that you eventually entered my life

We're bloody and bruised
We are physically injured

Assessing our wounds
We are examining our injuries

Airbag in my face, you can′t find your shoes
We were involved in a car accident where the airbag deployed and you lost your shoes

In shock and I'm sad, in pain and I'm mad
We are experiencing emotional and physical distress

Look down at my stomach, all I′m seeing is black, uh
I am seeing darkness and nothingness in a moment of pain and despair

Lights from the back, they′re blue and they're red
We see emergency vehicle lights behind us

The guy who hit us never was found, just left us for dead
The driver who caused the accident did not stop or help us

A million things I wish I could say, that never were said
I have many thoughts and feelings that went unexpressed

I′m sorry if I'm here but not here, got lost in my head
I apologize if I am preoccupied or distant due to my own thoughts and memories

A million things I wish I could do, to show you I care
I wish I could demonstrate my love and concern for you in various ways

Just know when you feel empty and scared, I′ll always be there
I will always provide support and comfort when you are feeling vulnerable or afraid

Don't care about how much money you make or clothes that you wear
I value you for who you are as a person, not for your material possessions

I care about memories that we make, and time that we share
I cherish our experiences and moments spent together

Let′s keep it real
Let's be honest and authentic with each other

It's hard for me to trust, they all went fake on me
I struggle to trust others due to past experiences with fake or unreliable people

I hope you keep it real and never change on me
I hope that you remain genuine and true to yourself and our relationship

You tell me when it's heavy put that weight on me
I offer to support and help you during difficult times

On me, on me, so
You can rely on me for emotional support and assistance
