[verse] I slipped out before the last amen Couldn’t hear another closing hymn Everybody smiling in the parking lot Like nobody’s counting what it costs You came walking through those double doors Looking just the way you did before But your eyes were somewhere far away Like mine were a year ago today [pre-chorus] You don’t have to say a word I already know the fight I wore that same disguise Every Sunday of my life [chorus] There’s room here in this car But we leave tonight I need to know for certain If you choose freedom over right Leave your fear beside you Leave your Sunday clothes behind There’s room here in this car If you change your mind [verse] You said, “Maybe after Christmas” Then, “Maybe after Easter’s through” Funny how tomorrow always comes But never comes for you You tell me that your family Would never understand They’d rather lose the real you Than question where they stand [pre-chorus] You don’t have to carry Every burden that they choose Love was never meant to feel Like something you could lose [bridge] The gas light’s almost empty Dawn is breaking through Guess I thought that love could save you But that was never mine to do Some doors only open From the inside looking out [final chorus] There was room here in this car But I left that night I hope someday you find your own heart Underneath what’s right Maybe when the silence Finally drowns out all the noise You’ll remember there was room And that it was your choice
