Name: Perfect Gift by Keith Rauh
Duration: 3 min 44 s
Description: when her love is the perfect gift it makes you write a song about it

This song is part of the album “Why me – but why not me too”.
It is not to be seen on its own, but as part of a journey I have to live through since my diagnosis. Each track tells a piece of this path – honest, raw, and unfiltered.

LYRICS

Verse 1
Your old sweatshirt’s hangin’ on the chair by the door,
Coffee’s gone cold, but I still pour one more.
The rain on the roof keeps time with my pain,
Every drop’s a memory I can’t contain.

Pre-Chorus
You said love’s a fire that burns too fast,
Now I’m sifting through the ashes of our past.

Chorus
We can’t turn back once the wheels start rollin’,
Can’t unbreak a heart that’s already stolen.
Tried to find the truth somewhere down that track,
But some roads fade to black —
No, we can’t turn back.

Verse 2
I’ve been drivin’ all night with the radio low,
Your voice in my head won’t let me go.
The highway hums like a lonesome tune,
And every mile just leads me back to you.

Pre-Chorus
If I could stop time, I’d make it right,
But the sun’s already risin’ on another night.

Chorus
We can’t turn back once the wheels start rollin’,
Can’t unbreak a heart that’s already stolen.
Tried to find the truth somewhere down that track,
But some roads fade to black —
No, we can’t turn back.

Bridge

Maybe love’s just lightning in a jar,
Burns too bright, don’t last that far.
If I could reach across that line in the sand,
I’d pull you close and make you understand.

Guitar Solo

Final Chorus
We can’t turn back once the wheels start rollin’,
Can’t unwrite the words we left unspoken.
Tried to find forever, but we lost the map,
Now there’s no lookin’ back —
No, we can’t turn back.

Outro
Some hearts break and never track,
No, we can’t turn back…
Can’t turn back.

Can't Turn Back

When love becomes a prescription, withdrawal feels like death. Cold Medicine is smooth, moody, and dangerously relatable — a song about being addicted to comfort.

Perfect Gift
