Gone Like California Rain

Rain crawlin' down the glass like its carrying grief

Every streetlight flicker feelin' like watching you leave

City breathin' cold while my chest is cavin' in

I still hear your voice when the silence beginnin'

You were warmth in a life full of subzero weather

Now I wear this ache like stitched leather

Every late-night ride, got your shadow inside

Like heartbreak learned how to sit and drive

I still fold your hoodie across my chair

Like somehow your still living in there

Everybody tell me pain fades fast

But they never held love they thought would last

I gave you the parts I would never expose

The abandoned wounds and the grief I froze

You kissed every scar like it wasn’t shame

Now Im starin' at mirrors forgetting my name

Your laugh used to pull all the weight from my shoulders

Now the nights feel endless where your absence lives

And I swear this town got colder somehow

Since the night you said you can’t do this now

Rain hittin' hard while my thoughts cave in

Every memory cut like broken skin

I still reach for you in my sleep at night

Like my soul still thinkin' you can make this right

Late-night tears on these empty roads

Love burned slow till it left me cold

You were home when my world went dark

Now your ghost still bleedin' inside my heart

I keep driving circles through pain and doubt

Trying to outrun what I can’t live without

If forever dies, then mine died too

The night I watched the light leave you

I still memorize every crack in your voice

How you’d tremble when life made you feel destroyed

And I hate myself for the nights I shut down

While you carried us both when I nearly drowned

Now your side of the bed feelin' like a grave at dawn

Cold sheets whispering that you really gone

I would trade every breath just to hear you say

“Come back home, baby, it’ll be okay”

Everybody leaves, I learned that truth

But I thought forever still lived in you

Now my chest feel hollow when the moon drippin' low

Like somebody ripped out the parts that grow

And the city lights blur through the tears I hide

While regret sinkin' deep like a knife inside

’Cause the hardest thing that love can do

Is make a broken man survive losing you

Skyline glows golden but doesn't feel alive

Since the night your hand slipped outta mine

Now every road just leadin' through pain

And every sunset spellin' your name

Late-night tears on these empty streets

I still hear your heartbeat haunting me

Streetlights fade while the rain falls slow

And my soul still waitin' where you let go

Heart so cracked that it barely beatin'

But your memory still walkin' with me

If there’s angels watchin' when night falls through

Tell ’em save a place for me and you

Dawn breakin' through the windshield cracks

But losing you still pullin' me back

No matter how far these highways move

Every road still leads to you
