Prompt
[Verse 1] Headlights cut through the rain Empty streets, your name in vain Two AM, I drive alone Missing what I've never known [Chorus] You don't know my heart You don't know I care Late night radio static Whispers everywhere [Verse 2] Coffee cold, the city sleeps Every mile, my memory keeps What we could've been, just dreams Burning like the gasoline [Bridge] Maybe one day, maybe somewhere I'll stop driving, stop the prayer Let you go, let me be Just the road in front of me [Outro] Just the road in front of me
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Headlights slice the rain Empty streets, my name Two AM and I’m still here Circling the same fear [Pre-Chorus] Every red light says stay Every exit drifts away I keep holding to the edge Of a thing I never said [Chorus] You don’t know my heart You don’t know I care Late-night radio ghost Saying you were never there You don’t know my heart I keep it locked up tight (you don’t know my heart) Till the road runs out of light [Verse 2] Coffee gone cold again City blocks and sleeping skin Every mile pulls me back To the shape of what we lacked Your ghost rides in the lane In the rain and in the brake And I’m burning through the past Like a match I couldn’t save [Pre-Chorus] Every red light says stay Every exit drifts away I keep holding to the edge Of a thing I never said [Chorus] You don’t know my heart You don’t know I care Late-night radio ghost Saying you were never there You don’t know my heart I keep it locked up tight (you don’t know my heart) Till the road runs out of light [Bridge] Maybe one day, maybe somewhere I’ll park this hurt and breathe that air Let you go, let me be Just the road in front of me Maybe one day, maybe somewhere I’ll stop reaching for the prayer Let you go, let me be Just the road in front of me [Chorus] You don’t know my heart You don’t know I care Late-night radio ghost Saying you were never there You don’t know my heart I keep it locked up tight (you don’t know my heart) Till the road runs out of light [Outro] Just the road in front of me Just the road in front of me
