Cut My Brakes by Juli Strawbridge Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your neighbor said she'd call the cops on me
Blocked her driveway again
And I don't know why I'm standing on your doorstep
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you being honest? Are you certain?
'Cause I feel you shooting bullets
Maybe you just miss on purpose
I'm just calling
'Cause you didn't meet my eyes
That time and you say we're all good
(Are you mad at me?)
[Chorus]
'Cause I keep coming back
Coming back, coming back, trying to say
Something that, something that
Something that always feels like a mistake
Read into it when you say, yeah we're on the same page
But you always give me the impression with expressions you make
That the second after smiling as I drive away
Could be the second that I realize that you cut my brakes
[Verse 2]
It's never fine if you don't smile back
Did something I can't remember
I'm on your mind and who you think I am, I'm responsible for
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you being honest? Are you certain?
'Cause I'm letting your inflection
Be the message 'stead of what the word is
(And I can tell you are lying)
Not convincing
'Cause I overthink about the way
You thinking, you think, you're thinking 'bout—
(Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me)
(What are you thinking about?)
[Chorus]
'Cause I keep coming back
Coming back, coming back, trying to say
Something that, something that
Something that always feels like a mistake
Read into it when you say, yeah we're on the same page
But you always give me the impression with expressions you make
That the second after smiling as I drive away
Could be the second that I realize that you cut my brakes
[Bridge]
I know that, I know that it's not always about me
But I'll write myself into every line of your face (Oh no)
'Cause it's not too difficult, I just want honesty
Just tell me how you feel about me
Every second that you're awake
(No, but like seriously)
[Chorus]
'Cause I keep coming back
Coming back, coming back, trying to say
Something that, something that
Something that always feels like a mistake
Read into it when you say, yeah we're on the same page
But you always give me the impression with expressions you make
That the second after smiling as I drive away
Could be the second that I realize that you cut my brakes
Your neighbor said she'd call the cops on me
Blocked her driveway again
And I don't know why I'm standing on your doorstep
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you being honest? Are you certain?
'Cause I feel you shooting bullets
Maybe you just miss on purpose
I'm just calling
'Cause you didn't meet my eyes
That time and you say we're all good
(Are you mad at me?)
[Chorus]
'Cause I keep coming back
Coming back, coming back, trying to say
Something that, something that
Something that always feels like a mistake
Read into it when you say, yeah we're on the same page
But you always give me the impression with expressions you make
That the second after smiling as I drive away
Could be the second that I realize that you cut my brakes
[Verse 2]
