Left in the Rearview

[Intro] Yeah... I still see you in the rearview... Even when I'm trying not to... [Verse 1] We built a home out of late-night talks and promises we never wrote down Now the foundation's cracked, pictures on the wall turned upside down I replay the way you said my name like it was sacred, like it meant something real Now it's just static in my headphones, another wound that won't heal I gave you every piece I had, even the broken ones I hid You took 'em with a smile, said forever, then vanished like you never did The silence after you left hit harder than any word you ever spoke Now I'm talking to shadows in an empty room, choking on the smoke [Chorus] Love and loss, they feel the same when you're drowning in the rain I gave you my tomorrow, you gave me yesterday's pain I'm still driving forward but my heart's stuck in the past Trying to outrun the memories, but they always catch me fast Left in the rearview... yeah Left in the rearview... I loved you reckless, now I'm paying for the truth Love and loss, they both look like you [Verse 2] Some nights I swear I hear your laugh in the hallway when the wind blows cold Other nights I hate you so loud it shakes the pictures on the wall I deleted all the texts but I still know every word by heart Funny how the brain keeps the receipts for the things that tore me apart I tried to fill the space with new faces, new places, new noise But every smile just reminds me yours was the one that felt like home You taught me how to fall, then taught me how to break Now I'm piecing back together a version of me I barely recognize [Chorus] Love and loss, they feel the same when you're drowning in the rain I gave you my tomorrow, you gave me yesterday's pain I'm still driving forward but my heart's stuck in the past Trying to outrun the memories, but they always catch me fast Left in the rearview... yeah Left in the rearview... I loved you reckless, now I'm paying for the truth Love and loss, they both look like you [Bridge] Maybe one day I'll thank you for the lesson in the wreckage For showing me what real feels like before you turned it to a question But right now I'm just angry and empty and trying not to fall apart Learning how to love myself in the spaces where you used to park your heart [Final Chorus / Outro] Love and loss... still feel the same But I'm learning how to drive with both hands on the wheel again Rearview's getting smaller, the road ahead is calling my name I loved you reckless... now I'm loving me the same Left in the rearview... fading slow Yeah... I'm still going...
