Lyrics
Out here where the pavement meets the old front gate
I watch you drive away under skies turning slate
Your bags were packed but my words were left unsaid
Heart feels heavy like a book I never read
Tail lights fade into the night
Red like the heart you broke in spite
I'm standing here trying to make it right
But all I've got is the cold wind and your tail lights
Every gravel crunch is a thunder in my soul
Echoes of your leaving taking their toll
I wonder if you look in that rear-view mirror
Do you see me standing do you wish I was nearer?
Tail lights fade into the night
Red like the heart you broke in spite
I'm standing here trying to make it right
But all I've got is the cold wind and your tail lights
Maybe miles could make you miss me maybe distance is a friend
But tonight they're just thieves stealing every hope I mend
I pray somehow you'll see me when you reach your end
Turn around come back and our hearts we can amend
Now the night's full bloom and your lights are long gone
I'm left with silence and a fear of moving on
Your memory's a shadow that lingers long and late
Fading slowly just like those tail lights at the gate
Tail lights fade into the night
Red like the heart you broke in spite
I'm standing here trying to make it right
But all I've got is the cold wind and your tail lights
As the stars peek through I whisper to the sky
Hoping my words reach you wherever you lie
Until then I'll be here where our world once felt right
Watching dreams disappear with those tail lights
