Headlights Fade

Got my first taste of freedom last night

Cruising down these empty streets in the pale moonlight

But every corner, every turn, it's just you I see

Can't escape the ghost of what we used to be

I'm stuck in reverse, chasing memories

And you're probably with someone who's all you need

While I'm left here, unraveling at the seams

He's got everything I can't compete with now

But I still scream your name when I'm breaking down

Yeah, I'm driving through town, but I'm lost somehow

We weren't perfect, but it felt so real

Now I'm trapped in the spin of a burning wheel

You said forever, now you're just a song

And I'm screaming the words, but you're already gone

Let the headlights fade, but I'm still not okay

My friends say I'm stuck, but they don't get it

This heartache's a game and I'm the one who quit

Every night's the same, driving circles in my mind

Hoping you'd be waiting, but you've left me behind

Now it's me and the road, both barely alive

We weren't perfect, but it felt so real

Now I'm trapped in the spin of a burning wheel

You said forever, now you're just a song

And I'm screaming the words, but you're already gone

Let the headlights fade, but I'm still not okay

Red lights, green lights, it's all a blur

Still hear your laugh in the radio's hum

Sidewalks echo with the steps we took

Now every street's a page in a story

You've closed the book

But I'm still stuck, and I can't let go

We weren't perfect, but it felt so real

Now I'm trapped in the spin of a -

Now I'm trapped in the spin of a burning wheel

You said forever, now you're just a song

And I'm screaming the words, but you're already gone

But I'm still stuck, and I can't let go

We weren't perfect, but it felt so real

Now I'm trapped in the spin of a burning wheel

You said forever, now you're just a song

And I'm screaming the words, but you're already gone

Let the headlights fade, but I'm still not okay

You said forever, but it slipped away

Now I drive alone through the wreckage replay

I'll keep singing this song 'til it all fades to grey
