Verse 1
I saw the warning in your eyes too late
Read every silence like it changed my fate
You held the matches while I lit the flame
Funny how the fire always knew my name
Driving these streets with the windows down
Trying to lose what I never found
Your ghost keeps riding shotgun still
Even empty seats can somehow kill
Pre-Chorus
You don’t call anymore
Still hear your voice through my speakers
Every mile just gets longer
Every memory gets deeper
Chorus
You hit me from the blind side
Never saw it coming
Left me in the headlights
Heart still running
Now every night’s a long drive
Looking for the sunrise
Thought we’d last a lifetime
Guess I closed my own eyes
Blind side…
You got me every time
Verse 2
Friends keep saying that I’ll be alright
But healing never happens overnight
Every song reminds me where we’ve been
Trying not to let you back again
Maybe one day I’ll forget your name
Maybe I won’t play this losing game
Until then I’m somewhere between
What we were and what we’ll never be
Bridge
If love was war
Then I surrendered first
Now all that’s left
Are echoes and the hurt
Final Chorus
You hit me from the blind side
Never saw it coming
Now I’m chasing daylight
Still outrunning
Maybe that’s the good part
Scars become a roadmap
One day I’ll look back laughing
Knowing I survived that
Blind side…
I survived your blind side.
