You’ve got your hands on the wheel, eyes on the road But I’m stuck in the back, carrying the load Every turn you take, I’m holding my breath Living half a life, afraid of what’s left I wrote my name on the window glass Hoping the storm in my chest would pass But I’m tired of the silence I always keep This isn’t my journey, it’s someone else’s dream I never asked to ride this way Silent while you steal the day But I can’t keep pretending I’m fine When the choice was never mine I’m done being the backseat driver Watching you burn while I’m the survivor I won’t follow where I don’t belong I’ve been quiet, but not for long No more shadows, no more sighs I’m taking the wheel of my own life I traced the lines you drew in the dust Believed in the map, but it shattered my trust Your compass points where I can’t go I need a road that I can call my own I swallowed my voice till it faded away But I’m learning to fight for the words I can’t say Every mile that I’ve left behind Pushes me closer to what I’ll find I never asked to ride this way Silent while you steal the day But I can’t keep pretending I’m fine When the choice was never mine I’m done being the backseat driver Watching you burn while I’m the survivor I won’t follow where I don’t belong I’ve been quiet, but not for long No more shadows, no more sighs I’m taking the wheel of my own life Maybe I’ll get lost, maybe I’ll fall But at least the mistakes will be my call Every mile’s a chance to be free The driver’s seat belongs to me I’m done being the backseat driver Watching you burn while I’m the survivor I won’t follow where I don’t belong I’ve been quiet, but not for long No more shadows, no more sighs I’m taking the wheel of my own life [soft, fading] I’m taking the wheel… For the first time.
