Head Start on a Heartbreak

[Verse 1]

Was your Samsonite packed up tight in the back of your mind?

Was your Cherokee facing towards the street when you parked in my drive?

Was your last shot your first moving on round?

Were you reaching for your phone for a rebound?

Did you run through "It wasn't you, it was me" about a hundred times?

Kinda feels like

[Chorus]

You got a head start on a heartbreak

Yeah, you jumped the gun, hit the ground runnin'

And I'm still stuck in place in a hotel room

Middle of nowhere, America

You got a fast car, already so far ahead

And I ain't even turned the key yet

Right from the beginnin', had no chance of winnin' the race

'Cause you got a head start on a heartbreak

[Verse 2]

Yeah, when did you know? How long did you hold it on the tip of your tongue?

Was the last time we kissed even real, or were you already done?

Yeah, I know somebody's gotta take the bullet

And I know somebody's gotta pull it

I could see it in your eyes, you're halfway there

Girl, it just ain't fair

[Chorus]

You got a head start on a heartbreak

Yeah, you jumped the gun, hit the ground runnin'

And I'm still stuck in place in a hotel room

Middle of nowhere, America

You got a fast car, already so far ahead

And I ain't even turned the key yet

Right from the beginnin', had no chance of winnin' the race

'Cause you got a head start on a heartbreak

[Bridge]

I ain't sayin' you ain't breakin'

I bet some nights you are

'Cause movin' on ain't easy

But you're through the hardest part

(Oh, the hardest part)

The hardest part

Oh, you know it ain't easy

[Chorus]

You got a head start on a heartbreak

Yeah, you jumped the gun, hit the ground runnin'

And I'm still stuck in place in a hotel room

Middle of nowhere, America

You got a fast car, already so far ahead

And I ain't even turned the key yet

Right from the beginnin', had no chance of winnin' the race

'Cause you got a head start on a heartbreak
