I could write a book ‘bout bad decisions,
Dog-eared pages, whiskey nights.
Fell for boys with pretty words,
Who couldn’t love me if they tried.
I’ve slammed doors, burned bridges,
Cried mascara down my face.
If heartbreak paid in dollar bills,
I’d own this whole damn place.
Yeah, my love life’s been a train wreck,
Blue lights and burned-out tires.
A bunch of “I swear I’m different,”
Turned into a bunch of liars.
But I ain’t throwing in the towel,
I ain’t bitter, just got smarter.
If the right one’s worth the wait,
Then I’ll wear these scars with honor.
Let the wrong ones keep on talking—
They were never where my story ends.
Sometimes forever just takes
A whole lot of wrong turns to begin.
Nowadays I leave the table
If respect don’t pull up a chair.
I’m done chasing somebody
Who acts like love’s too much to bear.
I’ve got kids watching every move,
So I choose peace over pride.
The next man that says forever
Better mean it with his life.
He ain’t gotta save me—
Lord knows I’ve done that on my own.
Just meet me halfway,
Build a little life to call our home.
I’ll bring the fire, he’ll bring the calm,
We’ll laugh about the roads I’ve crossed.
One day all these heartbreak songs
Will sound like lessons, not like loss.
Yeah, my love life’s been a train wreck,
But it ain’t the final scene.
God’s still writing every chapter
Of the woman I’m gonna be.
And somewhere out there, he’s got
A heart that’s just as beat-up too.
So I’ll keep the porch light burning,
Leave a little room for two.
‘Cause the best kind of love
Don’t show up when you demand it…
It finds you when you’ve finally learned
You don’t have to chase it.
Here’s to every “almost”…
Every goodbye…
Every wrong turn…
Leading me to the right guy.
