Lyrics:

I got my driver's license last week
Just like we always talked about
'Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house
But today I drove through the suburbs
Crying 'cause you weren't around

And you're probably with that blonde girl
Who always made me doubt
She's so much older than me
She's everything I'm insecure about
Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?

And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

And all my friends are tired
Of hearing how much I miss you, but
I kinda feel sorry for them
'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do, yeah
Today I drove through the suburbs
And pictured I was driving home to you

And I know we weren't perfect
But I've never felt this way for no one, oh
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, now that I'm gone
I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
Can't drive past the places we used to go to
'Cause I still ' love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Sidewalks we crossed
I still hear your voice in the traffic, we're laughing
Over all the noise
God, I'm so blue, know we're through
But I still love you, babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay, now that I'm gone
'Cause you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
Yeah, you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

    her smile when she hears the audience singing and clapping along says everything you need to know. she truly loves doing this.
  • @brb247ful
    Imagine the first song you ever put out being received like drivers license has been. Grammy nominated and played everywhere. Insane. Good for her
  • @Alexism537
    You can hear her getting better each live performance and at this point she sounds just like she did in the recording. That’s talent :) <3
  • The way she says "Now that I'm gone!" Really hit hard. I mean like, you could REALLY feel the emotion. It's like she was actually feeling it.
  • @Savag3174
    You can tell she can really sing, combining her voice control with emotions makes her voice sound breathtaking
  • @junlucas69
    The audience singing their heart out is everything.
  • She got a golden voice and how she smiles when the audience are playing along with her song.
  • Her voice has so much emotion that it's impossible not to feel the pain within the song.
  • The fact that she sings live but it actually sounds like it's normally autotuned.... stan talent 👏👏
  • @PhilippaJongen
    the way she writes her songs is like a story. it’s relatable and we’re experiencing the pain with her. so beautifully written - from a small youtuber
  • @thibault335
    This performance is truly amazing, her voice is so beautiful and pure. Olivia Rodrigo never disappoints her fans
  • @herfirstmate
    I love seeing these pre-teens in the crowd. Lol, their emotions are so real when singing along. Who are we to say they don't know what real love is?
  • She reminds me of singers from the 90's early 00's. There's just something magical about her voice. She nailed this live performance
  • @kithalie
    It's like shes reliving the pain. She puts so much emotion into her performances I hope I can see her one day.🥺
  • @midha3804
    I love how she’s getting more comfortable singing infront of so many people ❤️🥰
  • @Inks389
    The clapping and the crowd singing along... I'M CRYING
  • @lunalovegood2407
    Anyone else loves this live version more than the original? The emotions in her voice, and REAL musicians playing, the guitars and drums truly make the song come alive, especially from 2:33! They're not playing anything insane, but yes, the feels like from the early 2000s rock!
