Late-Night Drive

Intro]
Took a late-night drive, empty sky, city lights
Wonder if you’d miss me come morning light
My heart took a dive
And I’m not sure I made it out alive
T.S

[Verse 1]
Yeah, not too long ago
The world made no sense
That was ages ago
Guess nothing's that serious
I'll never feel whole
Guess I was made so
This blows
Not wanting to feel like this
Had to admit it just is like this

[Chorus]
So I keep driving, headlights on low
Pretending I’m fine, but I think you know
I still replay your words in my mind
You said forever — guess you meant sometime
I’m stuck in the song we never wrote
Still humming the lines that caught in my throat
Maybe love's just a ghost in the glow
Of taillights fading, letting me go

[Verse 2]
I left the city behind
But you’re still in my rearview
Your name's in the static
Of every late-night tune
I tried new faces
But none of them see through
This paper-thin armor
I wear just to get through

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t ask if I’m okay
You know I hate that line
I smile, then look away
Like I’m not losing time

[Chorus]
So I keep driving, headlights on low
Pretending I’m fine, but I think you know
I still replay your words in my mind
You said forever — guess you meant sometime
I’m stuck in the song we never wrote
Still humming the lines that caught in my throat
Maybe love's just a ghost in the glow
Of taillights fading, letting me go

[Bridge]
I light a cigarette I don’t even smoke
Just to feel something when the silence chokes
If healing’s a myth, I’m the proof it broke
You left, but I carry the echo

[Outro]
Took a late-night drive, stars still out of reach
Told myself I’m fine — yeah, I lied through my teeth
Still lost in the song we never wrote
Still chasing a light that never spoke
