You came back (She never did)

Verse 1 Saw your headlights hit the gravel Pulling up my driveway slow Like a memory I swore I'd buried A hundred miles and years ago You stepped out wearing that smile That used to wreck me every time But standing there beneath that porch light Something just didn't feel right Pre-Chorus For so long I prayed I'd see your face Thought it'd bring me back to life But all it brought was one damn truth I just can't hide Chorus You came back, but she never did The girl I loved ain't who this is Somewhere between goodbye and all these years She disappeared I spent all this time holding on To a memory that's been long gone I thought getting you back was what I needed But standing here tonight, I see it You came back... But she never did Verse 2 You talked about the life you're living The mistakes you wish you could undo Said if you had one chance to change it You would've never walked from me and you And Lord, a part of me still broke Hearing words I needed then But they showed up about ten thousand nights Too late to matter again Pre-Chorus Funny how the answer to your prayers Can show up just to let you go Chorus You came back, but she never did The girl I loved ain't who this is Somewhere between goodbye and all these years She disappeared I spent all this time holding on To a memory that's been long gone I thought getting you back was what I needed But standing here tonight, I see it You came back... But she never did Bridge (big rock build) I don't hate you I don't blame you Hell, I know I've changed too We were kids chasing forever Now we're strangers wearing old shoes And the truth is What broke me wasn't losing you It's finding out the woman I was dying for Was somebody I already lost Final Chorus You came back, but she never did The one I'd have given my life to then Isn't standing in my driveway crying tears She ain't been here for years I spent all this time missing you Turns out I was missing who you were And that's the hardest thing I've ever admitted You came back... but she never did Outro You can leave that door the way you found it Leave those words you came to say 'Cause the girl I kept alive inside me Faded long before today You came back... But she never did.
