Miles don't Lie

Four wheels spinning like a runaway prayer

Chasing something I ain't even sure is there

Skies burn gold then fade into black

And every line on this highway keeps lookin’ back

I roll the windows down, try to breathe it in

But the ghosts in my rearview ride like kin

I put on the weight like I put on miles

Smiles that stretch but don’t stick for a while

Heart on cruise but the pain’s on drive

Tryna run free just to feel alive

I laugh like I'm fine, but I’m wearing thin

Can’t outrun where I’ve already been

Miles don’t lie, they just roll on by

Carrying the truth I’m too tired to deny

Gas station coffee, cracked leather seat

Playlist full of liars and a backbeat

I've left towns, names, and dreams behind

But nothing ever slips that heavy mind

I shift gears, light a smoke, fake a grin

Tell myself this road is where life begins

I put on the weight like I put on miles

Smiles that stretch but don’t stick for a while

Heart on cruise but the pain’s on drive

Tryna run free just to feel alive

I laugh like I'm fine, but I’m wearing thin

Can’t outrun where I’ve already been

Miles don’t lie, they just roll on by

Carrying the truth I’m too tired to deny

They say healing’s in the leaving, but that’s a damn bold lie

'Cause every turn I take still circles back to why

And every goodbye I gave left a bruise in my chest

I’m not searching for heaven—just a little bit of rest

Passed a town sign I swore I’d forget

But the name hit harder than the years I left

Ain’t no map for the roads in your soul

And the tank’s full of stories I’ll never be told

So I’ll drive ‘til the truth feels a little less sharp

With a dashboard confession and a busted heart

I put on the weight like I put on miles

Smiles that stretch but don’t stick for a while

Heart on cruise but the pain’s on drive

Tryna run free just to feel alive

I laugh like I'm fine, but I’m wearing thin

Can’t outrun where I’ve already been

Miles don’t lie, they just roll on by

But maybe that’s how I finally survive

Maybe these roads ain’t meant to erase

But to carry the cracks ‘til you find your place

And maybe—just maybe—that’s enough grace

To keep driving…
