Unspoken Phrases

Speeding Ticket

I've been driving around for hours, trying not to crash,

I'm driving 160 but it doesn't feel fast,

The traffic light colours are blurry every time I pass,

I can't see the lines on the road clearly because my vision is glassed,

I probably should've listened to my bartender when she said my sixth shot should be my last,

But if only she knew I was only trying to drink away my past,

Maybe I wouldn't be here if she just looked at me and asked,

Hell, maybe I'll make it out alive tonight in nothing more than a cast,

But I shouldn't blame her for any of this, especially if I let my car smash,

All of this is my fault, I won't let anyone take the blame for my lack of class,

I kind of wish I wrote a letter to leave on my dash,

So when they find me, they won't think my actions were too brash,

With my pedal to the floor and my music on blast,

I'd like to apologize to everyone I love and I hope my life looks pretty when it's flashed.
