Faith, we’ve been drivin’ on a road that don’t turn right,
Holdin’ on to somethin’ that don’t feel like light.
I see the signs, girl, clear as the night,
This is where we slow down, this is where we rewrite.

It’s like chasin’ sunshine through a stormy sky,
Like hearin’ truth in a soft little lie.
We been holdin’ on, but the grip ain’t strong,
Feels like the melody’s right, but the words are wrong.

Faith, you were warmth on a cold blue afternoon,
But love turned quiet, and it faded too soon.
We kept hopin’ storms would clear on their own,
But the thunder stayed loud and the pain only grown.
I tried to match steps with the beat of your heart,
But somewhere down the line, we drifted apart.

It’s a U-turn when the road don’t lead where the fire should burn,
A U-turn when the lessons hit harder than we learn.
And when the fire and passion crash and never make the return,
Girl, that’s when you know,
Yeah, that’s when you know,
It’s time for the U-turn.

Faith, we were pages that turned but never aligned,
Tryna hold rhythm with a mismatched timeline.
Your name means hope, but the hope got thin,
And the farther we drove, the more breakin’ began.
I see your smile now, but it don’t stay long,
It’s like singin’ harmony to a faded-out song.

It’s a U-turn when the love don’t rise where it used to burn,
A U-turn when the silence cuts deeper than we discern.
And when the fire and passion crash and never make the return,
Girl, that’s when you know,
Yeah, that’s when you know,
It’s time for the U-turn.

Faith, there’s a truth we both been scared to say,
But walkin’ side by side ain’t the same as findin’ the way.
We’ve been pushin’ on a story that’s missin’ its end,
And maybe lettin’ go is the way hearts mend.
I’ll always care, but I see us clearer now,
Two different paths, two different vows.

It’s a U-turn ’cause the dreams we made don’t match where they turn,
A U-turn ’cause the lesson’s louder than the love we yearn.
And yeah, I know it’s cliché, but we can still stay friends,
We’re just not walkin’ the same road, Faith, not the same to the end.
And when the fire and passion crash and never make the return,
Girl, that’s when you know,
Yeah, that’s when you know,
It’s time for the U-turn.

So here’s where the highway slows into quiet air,
Where we both move on with somethin’ honest to share.
Faith, you’ll be alright, and I’ll find my way too,
Two hearts takin’ separate roads
But still grateful for the view.
