Lyrics

Verse 1:

Left my heartache in the rearview,

Dare to leave a past that’s untrue.

Each mile marker, a story that’s new,

Leavin’ behind what I once knew.

Pre-Chorus 1:

Hit the gas, leave the echoes behind,

Open up the windows, to free my mind.

Speeding fast, rushing from mistakes,

Trying to blow away my heartaches.

Chorus:

Called it love, but wasn’t meant to be

Just a shadow in my memory.

Break the chains, start something new,

What’s in the rearview is up to you.

Verse 2:

Crossroads come, choices must be made,

Old paths linger, but I ain’t afraid.

Shedding tears for love that didn’t last,

Movin’ forward, ain’t tied to my past,

Pre-Chorus 2:

Driving hard to clear my blues,

Fleeting glances at a life I outgrew,

Called it love but it was a lie,

Now it’s time to say goodbye.

Chorus

Called it love, but wasn’t meant to be

Just a shadow in my memory.
