Camry on the 10

[Verse 1]
Left my life in Tennessee
Packed it all in a U-Haul prayer
Chased your sun to California
Thought I'd find forever there
You were sayin' I was crazy
Every time I called it out
You were busy buildin' secrets
While I was buildin' us a house
[Chorus]
You totaled my Camry on the 10
But baby that ain't how you broke me
You crashed every bit of who I am
‘Til the mirror wouldn't even know me
I died for you a thousand times
You just watched me fade to thin air
Guess I never mattered much to you
And I hate me more for ever thinkin' you cared
[Verse 2]
You were flirtin' in the barlight
Callin' it "just in my head"
Turned my doubts into a weapon
Laid 'em with you in our bed
You said I was hard to love
So I tried to disappear
Shrank myself to fit your story
Lost my voice inside your fear
[Chorus]
You totaled my Camry on the 10
But baby that ain't how you broke me
You crashed every bit of who I am
‘Til the mirror wouldn't even know me
I died for you a thousand times
You just watched me fade to thin air
Guess I never mattered much to you
And I hate me more for ever thinkin' you cared
[Bridge]
Now I'm standin' on this shoreline (hey)
With your ghost still on my phone
Every wave that hits my ankles
Says, "Boy, you gotta walk home"
I ain't askin' you to miss me
Or to ever make it right
I'm just learnin' how to love the man
You taught me how to fight
[Chorus]
You totaled my Camry on the 10
But you ain't gonna be the end of me
You crashed every bit of who I am
But I'm pullin' my heart from the wreckage, finally
I died for you a thousand times
You still never even said a prayer
Guess I never mattered much to you
But I'm tryin' not to hate myself for ever thinkin' you cared

country, Modern country ballad with male vocals, warm pedal steel and fingerpicked acoustic. Verses stay intimate and low, brushed snare and soft organ pads. Chorus opens with big drums, stacked harmonies, and a bittersweet, driving groove. Final chorus strips back to voice, acoustic, and steel for a raw, confessional close.
