Hell-Bent on Missing You

[Verse 1]
The gravel road leads straight to town,
But my heart takes the long way ‘round.
I told myself I’d let you go,
But your ghost rides shotgun, slow and low.
[Chorus]
I’m hell-bent on missing you,
Every mile, every sky so blue.
I swear I’m done, I swear it’s through,
But this old heart’s a bad tattoo.
Fading’s something it won’t do,
I’m hell-bent on missing you.
[Verse 2]
Your laughter’s still in the air tonight,
A melody that don’t play right.
I packed my bags, I burned that bridge,
But your memory’s a flame I can’t extinguish.
[Prechorus]
I know it’s wrong to keep holding on,
But the past is a song I can’t outrun.
[Chorus]
I’m hell-bent on missing you,
Every mile, every sky so blue.
I swear I’m done, I swear it’s through,
But this old heart’s a bad tattoo.
Fading’s something it won’t do,
I’m hell-bent on missing you.
[Bridge]
Like a bad habit I can’t seem to break,
You’re the shadow every sunrise makes.
I walk away, but I circle back,
History’s a chain, and I’m tied to the track.
