DRIVE

Intro – soft, echoing]

Yeahhh…

Three years gone…

But some nights still feel the same…

Ooooh-woah…

⸻

It’s been three long years since you walked away from me,

And I keep tellin’ myself I’m fine, like I finally found peace.

People say time heals, but they don’t know the truth—

Some memories cling to your soul and never let loose.

I don’t miss us, I don’t miss who we used to be,

But I still feel the echo of you somewhere in me.

Your laughter’s a ghost in the backseat of my mind,

It comes alive every time the world gets quiet at night.

I’ve grown since then, I ain’t the same as before,

But the scars stay with me, can’t ignore them no more.

Sometimes I close my eyes and feel that old ache,

Like a scar that never healed, slowly starts to break.

⸻

So I drive until it hurts less (yeahhh),

Let the highway take away the stress (woahhh).

Windows down, city blurred, tryna settle my chest,

I get high every night just to feel a little rest.

I know you’re gone for good, I’ll never see you again,

But the pain still sticks like ink on my skin.

So I drive…

Until it hurts less…

⸻

I got new faces now, people try to show love,

But they don’t know the version of me you tore up.

They don’t see the nights I spent tryin’ to rebuild,

Or how every lonely moment still feels too real.

Sometimes I pass the place where we used to park,

Where we’d dream about the future sitting in the dark.

I don’t turn back, I don’t chase what’s gone,

But the sting in my chest reminds me you’re long gone.

I ain’t wishin’ you near, I ain’t beggin’ for more,

I learned to live without you, but the pain still soars.

Healing ain’t simple, and closure ain’t clean—

It’s a slow fade-out instead of a quick-cut scene.

⸻

So I drive until it hurts less (yeahhh),

Hit the backroads just to quiet the stress (woahhh).

I get high every night just to loosen my breath,

Let the smoke fill the spaces you used to fit.

You don’t cross my mind in the day, but the nights confess

That some pain never leaves, it just hides in your chest.

So I drive…

Until it hurts less…

⸻

Maybe someday I’ll forget your voice,

Maybe someday I won’t feel like I had no choice.

But right now the road’s the only place

Where the hurt fades slow and the memories chase…

⸻

Three years later, I’m stronger than before,

But healing don’t erase what your heart once wore.

Some nights I stare at the sky so wide,

Wonderin’ how love can live, then suddenly die.

I ain’t stuck in the past, I ain’t lookin’ for you,

But closed wounds still ache when pressure breaks through.

I roll up, lean back, let the moonlight hit,

Let the smoke fill the spaces where you used to sit.

If this is moving on, then I guess I’m blessed—

I ain’t shattered no more, just a little depressed.

I keep drivin’ through the dark, chest tight, no regrets—

Every mile I go, yeah…

It hurts a little less.
