Drive By Monologue Lyrics

colors blur at sixty miles per hour
and ican almost see your smile
a rose lies on the snow
and i would love for you to be happy
just not with him
and please think of me
when you bite your lip
as he makes you blush
the life drains from my face
please don't forget my ghost while you smile

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

here are the full lyrics

colors blur at sixty miles per hour and I can almost see your smile a rose lies on the snow and i would love for you to be happy just not with him i didn't want you to see me walking on my own {and as he makes you blush the life drains from my face please don't forget my ghost while you smile} i didn't want you to see it coming home please think of me when you bite your lip i didn't want you to see all you did to me when i left walking all alone i didn't want you to feel the beating of my heart as you held it wet in front of your eyes the lipstick on your face has turned a shade of gray and i'm liking it and as he makes you blush i hope you realize everything you've thrown away to satisfy desire the life drains from your face to match up all the grays and its scaring me and when you say his name I hope you fight to close your mouth to keep mine from escaping it

this is one of the most touching songs i've ever heard. the music is absolutely beautiful. the words are delivered with so much emotion. the end of the song where the music just keeps building up is amazing. as for the meaning, it's obviously about losing the person you love. a lot of songs are based on this topic, but few are done as well as this one.

i can relate to this song so much...wanting a girl who then goes on together with someone else..

i hope you realize everything you've thrown away to satisfy desire

this line sums all the anger..hoping to get that small satisfaction of her regretting..
