I met her in a downtown bar
She was young, I was young, the night was ours
I whispered things I didn’t mean
She left her friends to follow me

I had her for a week, maybe less
Then I pulled away like I’d never confessed
I told myself she’d be just fine
That she was strong, that she wasn’t mine

But the city has a way with the weak
It chews you up and leaves you beneath
And I never looked back, never called her name
Just went on living like I had no shame

Then I saw her today in the rearview glass
Standing outside a shop with her face in the past
Her eyes were hollow, her hands were worn
She was the ghost of the girl I’d torn
And my wife in the passenger seat
Was counting the change for the bread and the meat
I smiled at her, but I knew right then
I’d be drinking bourbon till the silence ends

She wore a coat that was thin for the cold
Her hair was dull, her story told
In the lines on her face that I put there
With my easy charm and my “I don’t care”

I wanted to open the door and say
“I’m sorry for the years I threw away”
But my wife was glowing, her hand on her belly
And I couldn’t shatter that moment with memory

So I drove on slow, I watched her fade
Back into the life I’d made
She didn’t see me — maybe that’s worse
To be erased, to be just a curse

I saw her today in the rearview glass
Standing outside a shop with her face in the past
Her eyes were hollow, her hands were worn
She was the ghost of the girl I’d torn
And my wife in the passenger seat
Was counting the change for the bread and the meat
I smiled at her, but I knew right then
I’d be drinking bourbon till the silence ends

Now I’m sitting alone in the kitchen light
The bottle is open, the kids sleep all right
My wife is breathing soft and sweet
And I’m trying to drown what I can’t forget

She could’ve been someone, could’ve been whole
If I hadn’t taken her then let her go
I was the first cut, the one that runs deep
And the rest just followed, while I was asleep

I saw her today in the rearview glass
And I’ll see her tomorrow when I’m drunk in the past
There’s no forgiveness, no way to make right
Just the burn of bourbon in the dead of night
My wife is dreaming, my house is still
But I’m the man who broke what he couldn’t heal
So I’ll drink till the silence finally bends
Bourbon and silence — my only friends
