Checkpoint Checkpoint Lights in the rain I need one more frame Checkpoint Checkpoint Before I fall back Into the same mistake Gas station mirror with the light half-dead Mascara line running where the rain got in Keys in my fist and a receipt on the floor Like the night kept charging me for one more door Phone at three percent, cracked little moon Mom left a message saying call me soon I say I am okay to the glass and the sink But the girl looking back does not even blink Hair tie wrapped round the gearshift twice Old parking ticket creased under the wiper I drive through the city with the windows low Trying to hear what the red lights know I am not trying to delete what hurt I just want the lesson to stay when it burns Some light pinned in the noise of the night Before I lose the thread of my own life I keep looking for a save point In a city that never stops Every time I almost make it The floor gives out Can I get a checkpoint Before I lose myself again Before I say I am fine And start the whole fight over again Can I get a checkpoint A little light where the road bends I do not need a new life Just proof that I learned from the last one If I fall tonight Do not send me back blind Let me keep what I found in the wreckage Can I get a checkpoint Before I lose myself again Save it, save it Do not let it fade I was almost brave I was almost brave Save it, save it Before the screen goes black I came this far Do not send me back I used to think restart meant clean No wrong names on the lock screen No old self in the mirror saying You still owe me everything But the scars keep lighting the road They are maps to the places I know I can see where the bridge gave out I can feel where the old road pulls There is a younger me behind the door Counting bills she could never afford She learned to look calm when the room got loud Like silence was something to be proud about There is a tired throat under the hook Trying to sing what the silence took Both hands on the wheel in the rain I steer past the street that keeps calling my name I do not want the pain on repeat I want the pattern under my feet I want the memory, not the chain I want the lesson without the shame If I have to go under Let me bring back the map Every life I survived in Still knows the way back Can I get a checkpoint Before I lose myself again Before I say I am fine And start the whole fight over again Can I get a checkpoint A little light where the road bends I do not need a new life Just proof that I learned from the last one If I fall tonight Do not send me back blind Let me keep what I found in the wreckage Can I get a checkpoint Before I lose myself again Maybe the point was not starting clean Maybe the point was remembering Which doors went cold Which hands were real Which wounds became warning signs I could feel I kept asking the night for a cleaner way out But the old me left lights on the ground Not to drag me back through what I survived But to mark the road where I stayed alive Rain glass Blue street Heart loud No sleep Old scars New name Hands shake Still aim Door closed Road bends I fall Learn again Can I get a checkpoint Before I lose myself again Before I say I am fine And start the whole fight over again Can I get a checkpoint A little light where the road bends I do not need a new life Just proof that I learned from the last one If I fall tonight Do not send me back blind Let me keep what I found in the wreckage Can I get a checkpoint Before I lose myself again Can I get a checkpoint Not a rewind, not a clean escape Let the past stay written But let the next door open anyway Checkpoint Checkpoint Lights in the rain I came this far Do not send me back the same
