Lyrics
Verse 1]
Driving down that lonesome highway, the whiskey blurred my tears
Thought I'd drown the pain she left me, but all it brought was fears
The radio played heartache, nothing could drown my guilt
Each sip, a weight I carried, every promise left unbuilt
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every shadow haunts me, oh Lord, please lend an ear
A life was lost behind my wheel, and all I feel is fear
I wish it was my last breath, this burden bends my spine
I'm sorry for the choices made, that girl deserved a shine
[Chorus]
No alcohol can cross the bridges I have burned
I'm begging you, dear God, help me heal, help me learn
I'm sowing every seed and facing what's to come
Through the pain and through the sorrow, Lord, I know I'm not the only one
[Verse 2]
Riding through the memories, I can't escape her face
The blaring of the sirens, I was lost in my disgrace
The bottle might have numbed me, but it never brought real peace
I stand before you broken, asking for release
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I walk this path of healing, turning pain to grace
I've turned my life around, I'm seeking Your embrace
You led me to the darkness where the light began to grow
In every tear I've shed, I'm learning how to sow
[Chorus]
No alcohol can cross the bridges I have burned
I'm begging you, dear God, help me heal, help me learn
I'm sowing every seed and facing what's to come
Through the pain and through the sorrow, Lord, I know I'm not the only one
[Bridge]
I'm standing in the ashes now, a beacon made of love
Your grace has washed my burdens, Lord, I'm reaching up above
From the depths of guilt and shame, I rise to serve anew
For every life I touch down here, I owe it all to You
[Final Chorus]
No alcohol can cross the bridges I have burned
I'm begging you, dear God, help me heal, help me learn
I'm sowing every seed and facing what's to come
Through the pain and through the sorrow, Lord, I know I'm not the only one
Lift my spirit up, Lord, make my soul, my song, my guide
In the heart of dark shadows, I'll carry You inside
