[Verse 1]
[male vocals]
Coffee cup cold
Her phone face down
New perfume
In this old house
Saw that car
Dark paint, out front
That black Mustang
Hit me like a punch
Door half cracked
Two shadows upstairs
Laughed so low
Like I wasn’t there
Thought we were forever
Guess the joke’s on me
Grabbed one duffel
And my spare truck key
[Chorus]
[Both]
Black Mustang in the driveway
Took my trust, then you drove it through
Every promise on that highway
Burned down right in front of you
I ain’t slammin’ doors, I’m leavin’
You ain’t cryin’, you just lie
Black Mustang in the driveway
Was the truth I couldn’t drive by
[Verse 2]
[female vocals]
I heard gravel
Crunch under your boots
You called my name
I couldn’t speak the truth
I watched you see
What I’d tried to hide
Your heart broke slow
Mine died inside
He was just a way
To feel alive
A bad excuse
For a selfish night
Didn’t wanna lose you
Did it anyway
Watched your taillights fade
While I begged you to stay
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
[Rap duet]
[male]
Yeah, I hit that road with a heavy chest
Got a half tank, hurt, and a cigarette
All our pictures in a box in the backseat
Talkin’ to myself tryna find where the blame be
Was it me, was it you, was it all this dust?
Too much distance, not enough trust
But I know one thing when I close my eyes
That car in my spot was the final sign
[female]
I’ve been replaying every word you said
Every “I love you” running through my head
I’m the one who lit the fuse, watched it all explode
Now I’m cursing my reflection more than you on that road
If regret had a sound, it’s my name on your lips
If mercy had hands, it would hold your wrists
But you cut them free, took your broken pride
Left me with his keys and this empty side
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Both, call-and-response]
[male] You said “for better,”
[female] I made it worse
[male] You were my blessing,
[female] I turned to curse
[male] I had a ring,
[female] I had a choice
[Both] Now all we got left
Is a cracked-up voice
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[male, low vocal register]
Black Mustang in the driveway
Was the last time I was yours
[female, almost whispered]
If you ever turn in my direction
There’s one less car
And one locked door
