The check engine light came on in my pick up truck
I took a piece of black tape and covered it up
I knew there was a problem underneath the hood
But I just kept on driving a little faster than I should
Told myself it would be okay
Ignore it it'll go away

As you might expect a few miles down the road
My nothing's really wrong here went up in smoke
Kinda like the morning you said we need to talk
I pretended to be listening when I was blowing it off
Didn't hear a thing you had to say
Ignore it it'll go away

The problem wasn't that there was a problem
The problem was the choices that I made
Why did I choose not to notice
What was right in front of my face

I'd like to say I'm sorry but it's a little late for that
You've gone on with your life I'm glad I really am
I don't know why it took me so long to realize
And I don't know what else to say except that
I've learned my lesson one true love too late
Ignore it it'll go away
