Could Have Moved On

[Verse 1]

Woke up this morning with your name on my mind,
Faded photographs, memories intertwined.
I thought I’d left you in the rearview,
But the heart has its way of holding on too.

[Chorus]

I could have moved on, but I'm still here,
Driving these roads, drowning in my tears.
Every sunset reminds me of our song,
I swear I could have moved on, but it feels so wrong.

[Verse 2]

Saw you last Friday at the old town bar,
With someone new, singing “our” guitar.
Your laughter rings like a bell in my heart,
Oh, I tried to forget, now it just tears me apart.

[Chorus]

I could have moved on, but I'm still here,
Driving these roads, drowning in my tears.
Every sunset reminds me of our song,
I swear I could have moved on, but it feels so wrong.

[Bridge]

Time’s supposed to heal, but it’s hard to let go,
Every mile that I run, just leads me back to you, though.
I’ve packed up the memories, put ‘em on the shelf,
But every little moment brings me back to myself.

[Verse 3]

I wander through fields where we used to roam,
The stars up above, they still feel like home.
I write you letters that I’ll never send,
Hoping one day you’ll find your way back again.

[Chorus]

I could have moved on, but I'm still here,
Driving these roads, drowning in my tears.
Every sunset reminds me of our song,
I swear I could have moved on, but it feels so wrong.

[Outro]

Maybe tomorrow I’ll find my way clear,
But tonight I'm just stuck, in this heartache I steer.
Oh, the past keeps calling, it’s a heavy load,
I could have moved on, but this love’s my road.

(Repeat last line)

I could have moved on, but this love’s my road.
