(Instrumental Intro)
(Verse 1)
I pulled the truck to the old dirt road,
Dusty boots, memories in tow,
We carved our names in that live oak tree,
Sippin sweet tea on the porch, just you and me.
But time slipped away like whiskey on ice,
Now Im left here, payin the price.
(Chorus)
Lost my love, no one knows what really happened,
We just couldnt exist in the same space anymore.
It wasn't easy, but we both made our choices,
Love ain't forever, or for everyone, I know now,
Still I feel those heartstrings break,
As I drive this empty road back home,
To the place where Im all alone.
(Instrumental Break)
(Verse 2)
I remember the laughter at the county fair,
Your hair in the wind, sun-kissed and fair,
But the fireworks faded, just like our spark,
Now Im haunted by shadows in the dark.
The family dinners, the Sunday roasts,
Now its silence that echoes like a ghost.
(Instrumental Break)
(Chorus)
Lost my love, no one knows what really happened,
We just couldnt exist in the same space anymore.
It wasn't easy, but we both made our choices,
Love ain't forever, or for everyone, I know now,
Still I feel those heartstrings break,
As I drive this empty road back home,
To the place where Im all alone.
(Bridge)
Had a friend who said, Chase the sunset down,
So I hit the road, left our town,
But the stars dont shine bright on a heart that aches,
And freedom feels heavy with all these mistakes.
(Verse 3)
Now Im back at that porch where we used to sit,
Sippin sweet tea, tryin to forget,
But the laughter lingers like a sweet perfume,
In every corner of this old, empty room.
Ill hold on to the memories, theyre all that Ive got,
But I know now, moving on is what I sought.
(Chorus)
Lost my love, no one knows what really happened,
We just couldnt exist in the same space anymore.
It wasn't easy, but we both made our choices,
Love ain't forever, or for everyone, I know now,
Still I feel those heartstrings break,
As I drive this empty road back home,
To the place where Im all alone.
(Refrain)
So heres to the cowboys and the friends we lose,
To the bittersweet memories and the paths we choose,
Life keeps rollin, like a train on the track,
But love may fade, yet the heart will always look back.
(Instrumental Break)
(Chorus)
Lost my love, no one knows what really happened,
We just couldnt exist in the same space anymore.
It wasn't easy, but we both made our choices,
Love ain't forever, or for everyone, I know now,
Still I feel those heartstrings break,
As I drive this empty road back home,
To the place where Im all alone.
(Instrumental Outro)
