Headlights & Goodbyes from Rustic Roads by Nick Young

Title: Headlights and Goodbyes

(Verse 1)
Down a lonely highway, under a silver moon
Red taillights fading into the night too soon
Twisted metal, shattered glass, strewn across the lane
Echo of sirens singing a sorrowful refrain

(Pre-Chorus)
Whispering tires told a tale of haste
An unfinished journey, a future erased

(Chorus)
Headlights and goodbyes, in the blink of an eye
Silent screams in the cold midnight call
Broken promises lay where the shadows fall
In the empty passenger seat, where love used to ride
All that's left are headlights and goodbyes

(Verse 2)
Flash of headlights on a curve too tight
Bent frames and faded skid marks in the pale moonlight
Cold leather holds the ghost of your embrace
Scattered dreams, now just memories I can't erase

(Pre-Chorus)
Last words hang heavy in the chilled night air
Torn apart, left only with despair

(Chorus)
Headlights and goodbyes, in the blink of an eye
Silent screams in the cold midnight call
Broken promises lay where the shadows fall
In the empty passenger seat, where love used to ride
All that's left are headlights and goodbyes

(Bridge)
Every turn on this road whispers your name
This heartache rides shotgun, in the aftermath of flame
The final turn where fate cruelly lied
Leaving tears that won't dry on this lonely ride

(Chorus)
Headlights and goodbyes, in the blink of an eye
Silent screams in the cold midnight call
Broken promises lay where the shadows fall
In the empty passenger seat, where love used to ride
All that's left are headlights and goodbyes

(Outro)
So I'll drive this road till the morning light
Guided by the echo of our last goodnight
Headlights fading out, like the stars in the skies
Lost in the forever of headlights and goodbyes
