Lời bài hát
We were kings on borrowed time,
Cigarette smoke in the summer light,
Radio dreams and worn-out shoes,
Swore this town would never own you.
Your name’s still carved in that old bar wall,
Mine’s fading, guess I gave it all,
Funny how the past still knows
Exactly where to hit me low.
Pre-Chorus
I tried to run, I tried to forget,
But ghosts don’t scare easy, they don’t regret.
Chorus
I’m mad at you, I’m mad at me,
Mad at who we said we’d be,
But late at night I still rewind
Those broken days that felt like mine.
Yeah, it hurts like hell, but honestly—
I miss the fire, I miss believing,
I hate the truth, I hate the lie,
But damn, I miss that old life.
Verse 2
Main Street’s quiet, lights burned out,
Same old faces, different doubts,
You left chasing a bigger sound,
I stayed here just to burn it down.
Every mile you ever drove
Feels like something that I owed,
I laugh now, but it’s kinda sad
How the best thing’s what we had.
Pre-Chorus
I scream at mirrors, blame the years,
Nostalgia tastes like cheap beer and tears.
Chorus
I’m mad at you, I’m mad at me,
Mad at who we said we’d be,
But late at night I still rewind
Those broken days that felt like mine.
Yeah, it hurts like hell, but honestly—
I miss the fire, I miss believing,
I hate the truth, I hate the lie,
But damn, I miss that old life.
Bridge
If I could go back just one night,
I wouldn’t fix it, I’d just fight,
Feel it all, the good, the bad,
Just to know we really had it.
Final Chorus
I’m still angry, still stuck between
Who I am and seventeen,
But even scars can shine sometimes
When the past still feels alive.
Yeah, I’ve moved on, or so I say,
But part of me’s still on that highway,
Cursing love, cursing time—
Missing you, missing mine.
