"Heartlines"

[Verse 1] I’ve walked roads paved with strangers, Watched good folks fade like smoke. Some drifted off like quiet winds, Some broke me when they broke. But every soul that crossed my path Left something I can’t hide— A scar, a lesson, or a blessing, Etched somewhere deep inside. [Chorus] These are my heartlines, Cut in the dark nights of my life. In the friends I lost, the ones God took, And the ones still standin’ by my side. Every tear and every goodbye Burns like a long-forgotten crime— Yeah, these are my heartlines, Carved in the quiet of time. [Verse 2] Diana kept me steady On days the world turned mean. Lunch breaks felt like refuge With her, Maria in between. Now Maria’s chair sits empty, And that silence ain’t kind— But I still hear her laughter Echo low in the back of my mind. [Pre-Chorus] And Alex, he’s my brother, Born from ballgames, beers, and grit… Funny how the good ones come From the places you don’t expect. [Chorus] These are my heartlines, Cut in the dark nights of my life. In the friends I lost, the ones God took, And the ones still standin’ by my side. Every tear and every goodbye Burns like a long-forgotten crime— Yeah, these are my heartlines, Carved in the quiet of time. [Bridge] But her… she’s somethin’ holy, A calm beneath my storm. My wife, the one who held me When the world stopped bein’ warm. She’s the line that don’t grow crooked, The truth that don’t unwind— The compass on my darkest nights, The one love I didn’t have to find. [Final Chorus] These are my heartlines, Written in blood and sacrifice. In the faces gone, the hands I hold, And the woman who saved my life. Every loss and every sunrise Tells the story of this man of mine— Yeah, these are my heartlines, And Lord… they’re carved so deep in time.
