Lyrics

VERSE 1:

I saw you standin’ in the porch light glow,

Whisperin’, “Drive safe,” like you already knew.

I smiled like nothing bad could ever touch me,

But fear rode shotgun where you couldn’t see.

I loved you deeper than I ever let show,

But the road was the only place I felt in control.

Didn’t know how to stay, didn’t know how to rest,

Didn’t know love was more than a heart in my chest.

VERSE 2:

I thought I had time to grow into the man you saw,

Never knew one night could come and rewrite it all.

If I’d known the cost of chasing the wind,

I’d have stayed in your arms and never touched that wheel again.

I felt the engine hum like a dare in my bones,

Thought speed could drown out everything I couldn’t own.

But the road don’t care about the dreams you chase—

It’ll take ’em all back without leaving a trace.

CHORUS:

Now I’m watchin’ you talk to the sky again,

Wishin’ I could answer like I did back then.

I’m sorry for the nights you waited by the door,

Heart in your hands, prayin’ I’d come home once more.

I never meant to leave you with a lifetime ache,

Or turn our whole future into one heartbreak.

VERSE 3:

I should’ve slowed down when you begged me to,

Should’ve loved you louder than the engine’s tune.

But I was all fire, no fear, no sense,

Didn’t know the cost till I paid in the end.

If I could take one moment back,

It’d be the night I chose the road instead of your hands.

I thought I was invincible, thought I’d always return,

Never knew how fast a life could burn.

VERSE 4:

I see you drivin’ past the place I lost control,

Hear you whisper my name like it’s carved in your soul.

I wish I could hold you, tell you I’m okay,

But heaven feels distant in the light of your pain.

If love could cross miles between the living and the dead,

I’d be right there beside you, hand on your head.

But all I can give you is the truth I never said—

You were the only home I ever had.

CHORUS:

Now I’m watchin’ you talk to the sky again,

Beggin’ for a sign from wherever I’ve been.

I’m sorry for the nights I made you sleep alone,

For every “I’ll be careful” that never made it home.

If heaven has roads, I hope they’re kind,

And I hope you know you never left my mind.

OUTRO:

I never meant to break your heart.

I just never learned how to stay.
