I’ve been running on empty.
All my jogging turned into a sprint.
I’ve been preaching to everybody
“I know you’re ready for it”,
But I’m not ready yet.
I play the part.
Meanwhile, I’m always crying in the backseat, Betty.
I’m always crying in the backseat even though they all sing along.
I’m always crying in the backseat, Betty.
Oh, am I really running,
Or am I just complaining?
Thought I was flying, but I guess I’m hydroplaning.
One sip and then I slip into nothing,
Into a discord or a discussion.
This shameful secret “something” is the depth of this dysfunction.
Cause I’m a drag.
I’m not the fun -
One set a night is the exception.
I’m too much.
I’m too heavy for anyone that’s met me.
I gotta be the mom at the fire.
A preacher longing to join the choir.
Your favorite angel on high is a liar.
I’m a liar.
I play the part.
Meanwhile, I’m always crying in the backseat, Betty.
I’m always crying in the backseat even though they all sing along.
I’m always crying in the backseat, Betty.
I started really following Taylor with this album and for years I kind of drifted off from it. But now I have a new-found love for Red because of this. kjaprencillo
