I Walked the Streets Tonight

I walked the streets tonight Just to clear out my head Didn’t know where I was going Just knew I couldn’t stay in bed

Streetlights buzz like tired thoughts Every window tells a life Somebody’s laughin’, somebody’s prayin’ Somebody’s losin’ a fight I passed a bar I used to love Heard a song we used to play Funny how the past don’t knock anymore It just waits

I ain’t runnin’ from the silence I just needed it to talk

I walked the streets tonight Tryin’ to make some sense Of all the things I carried That never made me stronger in the end I ain’t broken, I ain’t lost Just tired in my bones So I walked the streets tonight So I wouldn’t feel alone

Every step felt like a question Every breath like a prayer I thought about the ones I miss And the ones still here Some names I never say out loud Some faces time won’t fade Some nights you don’t need answers You just need space

The world don’t stop for heartbreak But it slows down if you listen

I walked the streets tonight Let the memories pass by Didn’t chase forgiveness Didn’t ask the reasons why I let the cold remind me That I’m still alive So I walked the streets tonight To make peace with what I survived

If I could talk to who I was I’d tell him this much now You don’t win by outrunnin’ pain You win by slowin’ down

I walked the streets tonight Not lookin’ to be saved Just tryin’ to carry tomorrow Without drownin’ in yesterday When the night finally opened up And let the morning in I turned back toward my door A little lighter than I’d been

I walked the streets tonight…
