Miles I Left Behind

Verse 1

Those long drives where the road won’t end

Just me, the wheel, and what’s been

Blue skies fading into fire

Pink and gold like a soul’s desire

Rolling hills to mountain tops

Different air at every stop

Windows down, I breathe it in

Trying to outrun where I’ve been

Pre-Chorus

Radio’s humming, heart won’t slow

Every mile’s a place I know

Chorus

Music playing, thoughts are racing

Car keeps moving, time not waiting

Feels like I’m not even there

Just a ghost in this driver’s chair

Every song pulls back the past

Moments I thought I’d outlast

I hold on, though I don’t know why

I did my best… at least I tried

Verse 2

Funny how a melody can break

Every wall you tried to make

One line hits and there you are

Back inside that old scar

All the “what ifs” flood your mind

Different roads you left behind

If I turned left, if I stayed

Would it matter anyway?

Pre-Chorus

Questions echo, no replies

Just headlights cutting through the night sky

Chorus

Music playing, thoughts are racing

Car keeps moving, time not waiting

Feels like I’m not even there

Just a ghost in this driver’s chair

Every song pulls back the past

Moments I thought I’d outlast

I hold on, though I don’t know why

I did my best… at least I tried

Bridge

God only knows the reasons why

Some things live and some things die

We carry weight we can’t explain

Miles of love, miles of pain

Maybe peace is letting go

Trusting what we’ll never know

Breakdown (soft)

If I did this… if I did that…

Would it change where I’m at?

Or just lead me back again

To this road that never ends…

Final Chorus

Music fades but I keep driving

Somehow still out here surviving

Past in pieces in my mind

But I leave it mile by mile behind

Not every answer comes in time

Not every wrong can be mine

But I hold on to one truth inside—

I gave it all… I really tried

Outro

Those long drives… they never end

But maybe that’s where healing begins…
