Pedal to the metal, wind in my hair
Thought your love would be forever, not just an affair
But the warning signs were flashing, a blinding light
From your smile in my passenger seat, a deceptive sight
It's a rear-view revelation, hindsight 20/20
The truth I missed when you were riding shotgun with me
The lies, the letdowns, a love left downtown
I never saw it coming, so stunning when you left me empty
But now I'm moving forward, pedal to the floor
It's a rear-view revelation, and I don't need you anymore
Memories in the distance, a fading existence
As I shift gears, leaving behind my fears
Your love was just a pitstop, a temporary spotlight
But I'm hitting the gas, moving fast, chasing a new sunrise
It's a rear-view revelation, hindsight 20/20
The truth I missed when you were riding shotgun with me
The lies, the letdowns, a love left downtown
I never saw it coming, so stunning when you left me empty
But now I'm moving forward, pedal to the floor
It's a rear-view revelation, and I don't need you anymore
We've all been blinded, love hiding the truth we need
But when the veil lifts, a gift shifts, and we're finally free
Now I see in the rearview, a clear truth, the lessons I had to face
Your love was just a detour, a learning curve, and I'm back on my way
It's a rear-view revelation, hindsight 20/20
The truth I missed when you were riding shotgun with me
The lies, the letdowns, a love left downtown
I never saw it coming, so stunning when you left me on empty
But now I'm moving forward, pedal to the floor
It's a rear-view revelation, and I don't need you anymore
In my rearview, what I never knew
A revelation, a new destination
No more looking back, I'm on the right track It's a rear-view revelation
