[Verse 1]
Late nights driving trucks
Cross borders, hold my breath
Load full of drugs in the back
And I never sleep, I guess
No one sees my hands shake
No one sees that I stay still
Because I'm a woman, they look past
What I carry, what I feel
[Pre-Chorus]
He said, "Just keep going"
Like my body was a road
Put his weight on my shoulders
Then acted like he didn't know
I was covering his stupidity
While he played it like a king
Now the miles feel heavy
And the silence starts to sting
[Chorus]
What love does to one another
Can’t hide what was done
What love does to one another
I was carrying his gun
What love does to one another
I was breaking for his name
What love does to one another
Leaves a woman in the flame
[Verse 2]
I learned the border lights
Like the lines on my skin
Every checkpoint, every lie
Had to smile and let them in
He never asked if I was tired
Never cared what it would cost
He made my life a covered track
Then left me counting what I lost
[Pre-Chorus]
He said, "Just keep going"
Like my body was a road
Put his weight on my shoulders
Then acted like he didn't know
I was covering his stupidity
While he played it like a king
Now the miles feel heavy
And the silence starts to sting
[Bridge]
I was not his shield
I was not his fall
I was not the one
Who should carry it all
Now I see it clear
Through the smoke and shame
If love is a chain
Then I break that chain
[Chorus]
What love does to one another
Can’t hide what was done
What love does to one another
I was carrying his gun
What love does to one another
I was breaking for his name
What love does to one another
Leaves a woman in the flame
