[Intro] The glass is old, the road is dark, I keep one hand on what I left behind. [Verse 1] I learned to fix the things that break too loud, but not the ones that rust without a sound. There's a dent I never hammered out, not because I couldn't because I wanted proof that I had fallen. So I let it stay, like a scar that knows my name. [Pre-Chorus 1] The man at the roadside said, "You can't drive forward looking back." But no one told me that the past has hands. [Chorus] I've been staring at the rearview long enough to know the shape of every ghost behind me. But the road ahead still waits, and I am not as lost as I believe. [Verse 2] I saw some children dive into the river, fall, laugh, and climb again. They didn't count the cost of letting go, they just jumped because the jump was enough. I forgot when I stopped doing that when I started measuring the fall before I ever moved. [Pre-Chorus 2] The rearview shows what's gone, not what's coming. But if I keep my eyes there, I'll never see the river down the road. [Final Chorus] I've been staring at the rearview long enough to know the shape of every ghost behind me. But the road ahead still waits, and I am not as lost as I believe. [Final Lift] I will lift my eyes. I will let the river call me by my name. Let the past be a mirror, not a seat I sit in all my life. [Outro] The glass is still there... But I am looking forward now. [End]
