Once in time there was a girl named Krystal
Not much to her, just a girl from Bristol
Out on a date with a guy from the city
That she met on tinder, just trynna get busy
Just a little fun, it seemed so harmless
Didn't wanna be alone inside of the darkness
Invited him in, into her place
cnd they made love or was it just a mistake?
Cuz 9 months later came a kid named Jake
Stuck together even though she hates
Every single night she comes home to yelling in her face
Every morning she covers up the bruise on her face -
Never thought these would be the problems she would face
Hoping everyday for a chance to escape
But the time never comes
Only he does
cs soon as he's done he pours his drink up -
Then goes to his wife's house, the one that he loves
Leaves her with a kid that a good guy dreams of
Leaves her all alone and broken-hearted
Tear stains cover up the bloodstained carpet
she pours up shots to forget his face
cnd she pops up a pill to forget her pain -
cnd when he comes home she's prepared for the blade
She was too drunk to put dinner on his plate
cnd she knows she's gotta pay for her mistake
But he's not home yet, maybe we could escape
So she packs up her things, everything she can take
cnd in the backseat she put her boy Jake
starts the ignition and starts pulling away
Dreamin of the freedom that she's feignin' to taste
Those green lights never looked so great
Now her only worry's keepin' that wheel straight

There's a kid name Hector livin' in a trailer
Nothing to his life except his girlfriend Taylor
Comes home to his dad and his brother selling pills
But he knows that he's destined to be greater
Studies at the library reading for his answer
c way out of his house is what he hopes to gather
Surrounded by the negative
But he knows he matters
College or his girl?
Hector chose the latter
Hector got a scholarship
to study up in Harvard
It was his first chance
To get away from his father
his life was so tough
But without his girl, it's harder
He couldn't abandon
The reason that he got there
So he stayed back home
Rejected what they offered
Still had to live with his
Drug dealin' father
But Hector got down
Back on his knee
Said to his Taylor
“Baby will you marry me?”
Hector finally got a plan in check
No longer had to live check to check to check
He thought he finally passed life's greatest test
Til he got home
cnd saw him getting head
He saw the blonde hair
He thought it wasn't true
Until he yelled out
“Taylor is that you?”
He thought he had it sealed
He screamed at his bro
He beat him with a pipe
before grabbed the keys to go

Krystal's finally gone, flying down the interstate
Hopin' she don't get stopped, she gon' blow 18
Hector grabs a bottle puttin' gas in the tank
Chugs what's left and finds the interstate -
Krystal pulls on the ramp, seems a little shaky
Maybe it's just from the pills she'd been taking
Hector pulls on, goes a little faster
Kinda confused, like this ramp was made backwards -
Doesn't think about it because he just wants to fade
Doing anything in his power just to get away
Thinking “how could she do that? She's the reason that I stayed.
cnd my older brother, hope to God that fucker pays” -
Krystal cries happy as she looks at her son
Just half a second before she turns around stunned
Last thing she sees is Hector's caught face
They almost made it, but he went the wrong way -
Cops to the scene with camera crews in bound
No sign of life in either to be found
Only signs of alcohol inside their systems
cnd they're saying things “I hope nobody will miss em”
Criticized online
and on all the covers
Comments saying
“Thank God they hit each other”
Only if they knew
They don't know the story
Their lives full of sun
Never seen pouring
One always seemed to get more abuse than hugs
The other grew up in a house full of drugs
She had a son
He got accepted into Harvard
But you only know ‘em as two drunk drivers
