Last Exit Sign

Lyrics

Verse 1
Alarm on my phone
I don’t wanna wake
Stare at the ceiling
’Til my chest starts to shake
Messages blinking
I let them all ring
Practice my smile
’Til it feels like a sting

Pre-Chorus
If I disappear
Would anyone see
Or would this empty chair
Just forget about me

Chorus
I keep driving past the last exit sign
Wondering what if I just crossed that line
I don’t wanna die
I just can’t live like this
Caught between the hurt and the abyss
Somebody tell me
There’s more than this ache in my mind
’Cause I keep driving past the last exit sign

Verse 2
Dinner with family
I laugh on cue
They talk about weather
I think about you
The you that I was
Before all this weight
Before every good thing
Felt two years too late

Pre-Chorus
I write my goodbyes
Then delete every word
Scared of the silence
Scared of being heard

Chorus
I keep driving past the last exit sign
Wondering what if I just crossed that line
I don’t wanna die
I just can’t live like this
Caught between the hurt and the abyss
Somebody tell me
There’s more than this ache in my mind
’Cause I keep driving past the last exit sign

Bridge
I’m tired of holding
My breath in my chest (so tired)
Hiding the cuts
In the jokes and the texts
If you’re out there listening
To this shaking voice
Please don’t let the dark
Be my only choice

Chorus
’Cause I’ve been driving past the last exit sign
Praying for a reason I should stay in line
I don’t wanna die
I’m just begging for a switch
Something small to pull me from the ditch
So if you hear me
Say you’ll sit with me here for a while
’Til I can turn around
At that last exit sign
