[Intro]
(Mmm, yeah...)
Sunday morning. 9:07 AM.
The sky was heavy. The house was looming dark.
(I just needed a single spark...)
[Verse 1: Raw, Intimate Storytelling Vocals]
I drove by your place today, the house was looming dark and gray
Looking for a shadow in the window, searching for the words to say
It looked like you weren't home, but for weeks now I’ve been checking
Glancing over on my drive, ignoring all the rules I'm wrecking
Looking at your mailbox... wondering, are you standing there?
Are you hiding in the silence, breathing in the bitter air?
(Are you hiding in the gray?)
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm still so obsessed, overwhelmed by the heavy thoughts of you
By the things we never got to say, the things we didn't do
And I know it’s not the same, you haven't sought me out or tried
I was standing all alone, swallowing my foolish pride
I was right thinking you never really wanted me to hold
When all you did was keep that wall up, leaving me out in the cold.
[Chorus: Passionate, Belting Country Vocals]
And my thoughts of low self-worth, why do you trigger me so?!
I’ve cried more tears over you than a man I used to know!
The one who said he wanted marriage, but told me we should wait
Before building up a future, before sealing up our fate
Yeah, he strung me along for seven long years!
But this hurts even deeper, I'm drowning in these tears...
Being told to stay away! (Stay away!)
[Post-Chorus: Catchy, Gritty]
(Trigger me so, yeah you trigger me so!)
Seven years of history ain't got nothing on this ghost!
(Trigger me so, yeah you trigger me so!)
Leaving me out in the cold with the things I wanted most!
[Verse 2: Stripped Back to Acoustic Guitar]
All I want is to be quiet as a mouse, creeping through the yard
To sneak right through the shadows when you've let down your guard
To sneak into your house, and maybe sneak into your heart
Never wanting to be treated like a stranger from the start.
But the door is locked heavy, and the curtains are drawn tight
I'm just a ghost on your street, fading out into the night.
[Bridge: Heavy Kick Drum & Pedal Steel Crying]
You looked at me so serious and told me to be careful with my heart!
But I should have been more careful with you before we fell apart!
You played the holy card, hiding behind the Sunday gloom
You stood there and you prayed over me...
While I was on my knees praying for you inside my secret room!
[Chorus Acapella]
And my thoughts of low self-worth, why do you trigger me so?!
I’ve cried more tears over you than a man I used to know...
[Full Band Swells - Massive Emotional Peak][Drop]
The one who strung me along for seven long years!
But this hurts even deeper, I'm drowning in these tears...
Being told to stay away! (Stay away!)
[Outro: Fade Out]
I should have been more careful.
I should have been more careful with you.
Instead, you prayed over me.
While I prayed for you.
Inside my secret room.
Quiet as a mouse.
The house was looming dark.
9:07 AM.
(Mmm... I'm driving away.)
[Fade Out]
[End]
