Where We Left It

I still take the long way

past your old street,

Still slow down where we used to meet.

Funny how a town

can stay the same,

While everything inside you changes shape.

Your coffee cup’s still sitting in my truck,

I never had the heart to throw it out.

Guess some things are easier to keep,

Than admit they don’t belong to me now.

I told everybody I’m doing fine,

But they don’t see me at two in the morning

Staring at that last goodbye.

We left our love somewhere between Your front porch light and my

old truck keys. You said forever,

I believed you, Now forever’s something I don’t get to.

I still hear your voice when the radio’s low,

Still see your face everywhere I go.

Maybe someday I’ll finally let it be,

But tonight you’re still where we left it—

Right here with me.

Your picture’s gone from my nightstand now,

But I swear I can still see you somehow.

I learned the hard way hearts don’t break

Just because you pack your things and walk away.

Maybe we were meant for a season,

Maybe forever wasn’t ours to keep.

But I’ll always be thankful

For the memories you left with me.

We left our love somewhere between Two young hearts and a Tennessee

dream. You found your road,

I found mine, Guess that’s just the way some stories end sometimes.

I’ll drive past your street when the moon hangs low,

Turn up the radio and let you go.

And maybe someday

your memory

Won’t feel like where we left it— Maybe it’ll just be where

we used to be.

Yeah, maybe someday I’ll finally let it be… But tonight you’re still

where we left it.
