[Verse 1]
Packed my bags, left a ghost in the rearview
Town ain't nothing but a coffin I peer through
Every street whispers secrets I bled on
Heartbreak city, where the good in me fled on
She took my kindness, turned it into ashes
Eyes that once sparked now just flicker and crash in
The diner, the gas pump, the old county line
Every stop a reminder that she ain't mine
[Chorus]
Ain't no home in my hometown, just a grave
Where love once stood tall, now it can't be saved
I’m gone, I’m gone, to where the pain won’t start
Empty streets, heavy heart
[Verse 2]
Saw her shadow on the bench by the courthouse
Every step's a memory I can't outrun now
My boots kick the dirt where we carved our names
Now it's just dust, nothing but blame
She didn't just leave, she buried the man
Who believed in love with an open hand
Now I carry the weight, this hollowed-out chest
My hometown's a tomb, and I laid it to rest
[Pre-Chorus]
Every corner, every turn, her ghost still lingers
Every scar on my soul, her cold, cruel fingers
