🎶 Lyrics:

Saw his taillights fading down Route 29,
Suitcase in the back, dreams on the line.
This old street grows quieter every night,
But my roots hold deep beneath porchlight.

He chased the city, I kissed him goodbye,
Dust in my heart, but I never cried—

He left, I stayed,
Watched the dawn light divide our fate.
Stars still shine on the choices made,
He left, I stayed.
Wrote my story in this dirt and clay,
Maybe I’m stubborn, maybe I’m brave,
He left, I stayed.

Café windows catch my tired face,
His laugh echoes in the open space.
Folks ask why I didn’t run too,
But I found myself, standing in my own shoes.

He was hungry for sky so wide,
I learned strength with every goodbye—

He left, I stayed,
Watched the dawn light divide our fate.
Stars still shine on the choices made,
He left, I stayed.
Found my spirit in familiar ways,
Building gardens out of heartache,
He left, I stayed.

I hear his letters in the wind,
Promises that might have been,
But I belong where wildflowers bend,
Holding on, learning how to mend.

He left, I stayed,
Watched the dawn light divide our fate.
Stars still shine on the choices made,
He left, I stayed.
Carved my name in the willow’s shade,
Grew my future from yesterday,
He left, I stayed.

Night falls slow, the world feels wide,
Found my peace, found my pride.
He left, I stayed.
