Half of My Heart in the Rearview

I was loadin' up my truck in the pale sunrise;

Dust on my boots and hurtin' my eyes;

Your coffee cup was still on the dash;

I shoulda known love could leave so fast;

I drove past the church where we said our vows;

Funny how silence sounds louder now;

Every mile keeps pullin' me back to the life we had on that gravel track;

Half of my heart is in the rearview;

Chasing the ghost of me and you;

I keep on driving, girl,

I can't get through;

To the part of me still loving you;

If goodbye is a road I never chose;

Then why does it feel like the whole world knows?

The half of my heart is in the rearview;

And the other half is stuck on you;

The radio plays that old love song;

I act like I'm tough, but

I sing along;

Your jacket's hanging in the backseat;

Like a promise that won't set me free;

I pass by the diner on County Line;

Where we laughed like kids on Friday night;

Every mile keeps calling me back;

To the life we had on that gravel track, yeah;

Half of my heart is in the rearview;

Chasing the ghost of me and you;

I keep on driving but

I can't get through;

To the part of me still loving you;

If goodbye is a road I never chose;

Then why does it feel like the whole world knows;

That half of my heart is in the rearview;

Any other half is stuck on you;

Hey, I swear

I hear you in the engine hummin';

The midnight miles and the setting sun;

If I turned around, would

I find you there?

Or just the same old empty air?

Baby, some things don't heal, they bruise;

And maybe I'm meant to feel this too;

Yeah, half of my heart is in the mirror view;

Chasing the ghost of me and you;

I keep on diving, but

I can't get through;

To the part of me still loving you;

If life is a road I never chose;

Why does it feel like the whole world knows?

Half of my heart is in the mirror view;

And the other half is still on you;

So I'll keep rollin' till the night runs out;

With a little more ache and a little less doubt;

Half of my heart in the rearview;

Oh, yeah;
