[Verse 1]
Dark road
Dashboard glow on my hands
Phone on silent
Too many missed calls, I can't
Last year
I was sleeping in my car by the store
Same hoodie, same fear
Same prayers on the floor
Mama said, "Baby, you sound tired"
I said, "I'm fine," but my eyes lied
Every bill felt like barbed wire
Every "what if" kept my mind tied
Pulled over once, thought about the edge
Half a foot hanging off that ledge
Then I saw my name in a text from sis
"Stay with me
We ain't done yet"
[Chorus]
I was lost on a long, long highway
Heart too heavy for a Friday night
Every sign saying "wrong way, wrong way"
But I kept driving till I saw the light
Yeah, I broke but it didn't break me (didn't break me)
Found a little bit of peace in the pain I bled
Now I'm singing with the scars that saved me
I ain't perfect
But I'm back from the edge
[Verse 2]
Seat back
Clouds of breath on the glass
Fighting panic
Like it's ready to crash
I remember counting coins at the pump
Praying that the tank don't die
Wondering if my worth was a sum
Of the zeros on the card declined
Fake friends vanished when the well went dry
Real ones stayed through the storm in my mind
Used to scream at the ceiling at 3 AM
"God, if you hear me
Give me one more sign"
Flow switch, now I move different
Talk soft, but my faith loud
Same streets but the view different
See the stars where I saw clouds
Got a key
Got a place I can rest
Got a voice
And it runs in my chest
Got a past that I don't regret
Just a map of the roads
That I made through the mess (yeah)
[Chorus]
I was lost on a long, long highway
Heart too heavy for a Friday night
Every sign saying "wrong way, wrong way"
But I kept driving till I saw the light
Yeah, I broke but it didn't break me (didn't break me)
Found a little bit of peace in the pain I bled
Now I'm singing with the scars that saved me
I ain't perfect
But I'm back from the edge
[Bridge]
Windows down, let the old hurt go (go)
Cold air on the face I know
I forgive who I used to be
Thank the dark that delivered me
If you're riding with your hope on E
Talking low so the world won't see
Keep your hands on the wheel, my friend
This ain't where your story ends (nah)
[Chorus]
I was lost on a long, long highway
Heart too heavy for a Friday night
Every sign saying "wrong way, wrong way"
But I kept driving till I saw the light
Yeah, I broke but it didn't break me (didn't break me)
Found a little bit of peace in the pain I bled
Now I'm singing with the scars that saved me
I ain't perfect
But I'm back from the edge (from the edge)
Yeah, I'm back from the edge (oh)
