Driveway Talks

(Verse 1)

Pulled into your driveway slow

Radio low, headlights glow

You didn’t speak, and neither did I

But both of us knew this was goodbye

(Verse 2)

Your hand was near, but didn’t stay

A thousand words we didn’t say

The engine hummed like nervous breath

While we sat still, mourning the death

(Chorus)

Driveway talks at 1AM

No big scene, just the end

We didn’t fight, we didn’t cry

We let the silence say goodbye

You said, “Take care” with a tired smile

I nodded once, then drove awhile

(Verse 3)

Backroads blurred beneath the wheels

I played a song I knew you’d feel

But you won’t text, and I won’t call

We said it all by saying small

(Bridge)

Not every end needs shattered glass

Some hearts just dim, then let it pass

And though it hurts, I won’t pretend

Sometimes love just… doesn’t defend

(Final Chorus)

Driveway talks at 1AM

Where everything ends without when

You left the car, I watched you go

The light stayed on, a final glow

And in that stillness, I could see

You once were home, and now, just free
