Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your coffee cup’s still by the sink
Lipstick print I can’t unsee
I talk out loud to an empty room
Like you’re still answering me
Folded your clothes in cardboard boxes
Left your boots by the front door
Every mile marker on this highway
Feels like you, a little more
[Chorus]
But this is my back road to letting go
Windows down, wind in my bones
Every song on this old truck radio
Used to cut me to the soul
Now I’m humming along, letting the hurt roll slow
Yeah, this is my back road
My back road to letting go
[Verse 2]
Our friends still ask if I’m alright
I say “yeah” and change the view
Learned how to sleep on my own side
Leave a little space for you
Stopped scrolling through those midnight photos
Stopped tracing letters of your name
I still love the life we never had
But I’m learning that’s okay
[Chorus]
‘Cause this is my back road to letting go
Windows down, wind in my bones
Every song on this old truck radio
Used to cut me to the soul
Now I’m humming along, letting the hurt roll slow
Yeah, this is my back road
My back road to letting go
[Bridge]
I thought my heart was buried with you
Under that hill in my hometown
But it’s beating soft in every sunrise
Every small step I take now (oh now)
[Chorus]
This is my back road to letting go
Dust and tears, but I’m not alone
Got the good parts of our story
Riding shotgun as I go
I’ll never forget you, but I’m heading for my own
Yeah, this is my back road
My back road to letting go
