[Verse 1]
Your name still stuck
On my cracked phone screen
Dust on the dash
Where your hand used to be
Back roads
Windows down
We were loud
We were sure
Thought the map was forever
Turns out it was a detour
[Chorus]
Back roads and broken lies
You said “always” right to my eyes
Now I’m here
Just me and the night
Feeling foolish
Trying to understand why
Back roads and broken lies
Echo loud in my mind
You were never really mine
You were never really mine
[Verse 2]
You swore you were honest
Then you slipped through the truth
Like smoke through my fingers
Like you never were you
I replay the curves
Every turn that we missed
How did something that perfect
Turn sharp into this
[Chorus]
Back roads and broken lies
You said “always” right to my eyes
Now I’m here
Just me and the night
Feeling foolish
Trying to understand why
Back roads and broken lies
Echo loud in my mind
You were never really mine
You were never really mine
[Bridge]
I gave you my faith
You gave me your disguise
I gave you my days
You gave me alibis (hey!)
I scream at the dark
But it just drives by
[Chorus]
Back roads and broken lies
You said “always” right to my eyes
Now I’m here
Just me and the night
Feeling foolish
Trying to understand why
Back roads and broken lies
Burning up in tail lights
I was lost in your design
But you were never really mine
