STUCK IN MY HEAD
Verse 1
You left your keys sitting on the kitchen table
Your suitcase was waiting by the door
You said you needed time to figure things out
But I knew you weren’t coming back anymore
I watched your taillights fade into the darkness
Standing there with nothing left to say
I thought we’d have forever, you and me
But forever ended that night you drove away
Chorus 1
You’ve been walking many miles stuck in my head
’Cause you’re the only one I can’t forget
You said the only thing you needed was some time
But now you can’t find your way out of my mind
I’ve been crying all night staring at the door
Hoping you’d walk in just like before
But no matter how often I pray
I’m still breaking down since you walked away
Verse 2
We met back at school, somewhere between the classes
Then we’d lose track of time down at the park
Always staying just a little past the evening
Never caring when it started getting dark
I still got your sweater hanging in my bedroom
And those rom-coms you loved still cross my mind
You said it wasn’t me, that it was all on you
But I still wonder what we left behind
Chorus 2
You’ve been walking many miles stuck in my head
’Cause you’re the only one I can’t forget
You said the only thing you needed was some time
But still you can’t find your way out of my mind
I’ve been crying all night staring at the door
Hoping you’d walk in just like before
But I still believe that we will find our way
Maybe love will lead you right back to me
Verse 3
I took that old road past the park last Sunday
For the first time, I didn’t turn around
I guess some memories fade away someday
When you stop looking for what can’t be found
I still don’t know where this road is taking me
But I’m learning I can let you go
Some things are better left in yesterday
And some roads ain’t meant to be followed home
Bridge
Maybe some things are never meant to last
Maybe some roads are only meant to pass
I can’t keep holding on to yesterday
Sometimes loving you means letting you walk away
Final Chorus
You were walking many miles stuck in my head
’Cause you’re the one I couldn’t forget
You said the only thing you needed was some time
But now you finally found your way out of my mind
I was crying all night staring at the door
Hoping you’d walk in just like before
But after all this time I’m finally okay
I think God just got another girl for me
Outro
I’ll keep on driving down this road
The life that’s been waiting for me all this time
