When you’re caught you can’t turn back
Like a bug in a bug zapping machine
You’re the prey in the predator’s grip
What are you going to do?
Just stand there I bet
Didn’t even know this was a game
He’s the cat and you’re the mouse
That feeling that you’re a deer in the headlights
Once it’s all over you’ll be sad
The humiliation and pain he caused
Dumping you in the worst way
Starting rumors about you
Like you being a slut
Or you cheated on him
Now look at yourself
You’re the deer in the headlights
But you aren’t one because of just that
Being caught by good looks for instance
Like when your crush smiles at you
You’re caught in shock
That silly dazed feeling you have
Racing heart and nervousness
Stuttering when you talk
Once again you’re the deer in the headlights
But this also isn’t the only other way
See you could be pranked
And it happens in front of everyone
Embarrassment and humiliation again
You become the show
The one everyone laughs at
All you can do is stay in place
You’re a deer in the headlights
Or you could be in the wrong place at the wrong time
Could be at the bank
And robber comes in with a gun
He wants to spill blood today
The gun could choose you
You can't run and hide
When he looks at you, you freeze up
And once again you’re the deer in the headlights

I was listening to a story my friend was telling me about hitting a deer with their car on accident. I thought this up because of that.
