Drivers License lyrics 

I got my driver's license last week
Just like we always talked about
'Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house
But today I drove through suburbs
Crying 'cause you weren't around

And you're probably with that blonde girl
Who always made me doubt
She's so much older than me
She's everything I'm insecure about
Yeah, today I drove through suburbs
'Cause, how could I ever love someone else?

And I kw we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay w that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, w I drive alone past your street

And all my friends are tired
Of hearing how much I miss you, but
I kinda feel sorry for m
'Cause y'll never kw you way that I do, yeah
Today I drove through suburbs
And pictured I was driving home to you
