Heartbreak on Route 9 (V2)

[Verse] She left me on a Tuesday Under the Midwestern sky Dusty roads and worn-out dreams We waved goodbye Her laughter still haunts cobbled streets at night But my heart is stone-cold And I’m feeling alright [Verse 2] Kicked a can down Route 9 No tears left to spill Her silhouette fades in the rearview Like a ghost on the hill She took my heart Packed it in a suitcase small But I just shrugged my shoulders Not caring at all [Chorus] Oh the girl tore a piece right out my chest But I walk these empty roads And I rest Another night Another town Onward I crawl But my heart beats steady Not breaking at all [Verse 3] Her memory’s a whisper A soft summer rain I light a cigarette Watching drops hit the pane She thought she’d break me But she never stood tall ‘Cause I’m dancing in the ruins Not caring at all [Verse 4] Old diner jukebox Plays our last goodbye song I sip my cold coffee And I move along Her love was a flicker; it was bound to fall But the embers didn’t burn me Not caring at all [Bridge] City lights in the distance Another heart to replace Every scar is a tourniquet I won't erase A wanderer in shadows Yet I stand proud and tall Broken in pieces But not caring at all
