Cards I'm Dealt

Same room

Same night

Same shit I said I'd fix

Funny how one quiet moment

Makes you finally look at it

Bills on the counter,

plans in a drawer Dreams got dusty,

don't open no more Kept saying next month,

next year, next break Whole lotta waiting,

not much changed Phone keep buzzing,

I leave it alone Everybody got advice when they ain't in your

home

“Keep your head up,” yeah,

easy to say When you ain't waking up wearing the weight I

played every card like maybe it'd flip Kept taking losses and calling

it grit Smiled through shit I was tired of defending Tonight I

looked around and saw where it's heading

Maybe this is all I get

Maybe life's just built like this

But something in me finally said You can't keep calling this living

This the hand I was dealt

I don't wanna play it

Been holding these cards so long I'm tired of trying to save

it They keep saying better's coming But nobody tells me where

So if better's somewhere down that road

Maybe I gotta meet it there I don't know what waits for

me

I don't know who I'll become I just know staying here Ain't

enough

Half tank, little cash,

keys by the sink

Standing in the kitchen trying not to think Every bad choice,

every door that closed Every person I lost,

every bridge I broke Some things happened,

some I chose Some scars came from

people I held too close

And I kept telling myself,

“That's life, let it ride” Till accepting the pain started feeling like

dying inside No big breakdown,

no glass on the floor Just me looking way too long at

the door Like maybe the scariest thing I could do

Is leave everything I know

for something that might not come true

Keys in my hand

Put 'em down

Pick 'em back up

Look around

What if better ain't real?

What if I drive all night And wake up still me?

What if changing roads

Don't change what I see?

... But what happens if I stay?

I already know that answer.

This the hand I was dealt But I don't gotta keep it

Maybe there's another life

Even if I can't see it

Maybe better ain't a promise Maybe it's just somewhere unknown Maybe tonight

ain't about finding home Maybe it's just going I don't know what

waits for me

I don't know what I'll become

But staying here?

That ain't enough.

Keys turn

Engine low

Dashboard glow

No map No promise Just road
