Left
my keys in the wrong place again
Said some words I can't take back to a friend
Now the silence is louder than the sin
And the night won't let me forget where I've
been
I try to hide from the mirror in the glass
Try to bury every question I won't ask
So I'm taking the slow way home
Every turn,
every light I drive alone Through the streets where the guilt starts
to grow Still not ready to face what I know
So I'm taking the long way,
the slow way home
Every red light's a moment to breathe
But the weight in my chest won't let me leave
Try to stitch up the mess I made with lies
But the truth keeps burning
in my eyes
There's no map for mistakes you can't undo
No detour that leads away from you
So I'm taking the slow way home
Every mile is a sin I still own No excuse left,
nowhere to go
Still dragging my shame like a stone
Taking the long way,
the slow way home
If I turn the wheel, will the road forgive?
If I cross that door, will you let me in?
I'm not who I was, but I'm not brand new
Just a fool who finally sees the truth
So I'm still taking the slow way home
Still scared of what waits when I'm alone
But maybe grace is a seed that's grown
Through every wrong turn I've known
So I'll keep driving
the slow way home
