"The Road I Never Took"
(Verse 1)
I used to wear a suit, fly miles from home,
In boardrooms and cities, I was never alone.
A million-dollar man with the world at my feet,
Now I’m counting change, staring down empty streets.
There’s a version of me where I stayed on top,
Where my world never crumbled, and I didn’t stop.
What if I’d held on when the storms shook?
What’s waiting down the road I never took?
(Chorus)
What if the world didn’t turn me away?
Would I be standing tall today?
Would I still be a man who never fell,
Or am I just trapped in this hotel?
A daughter so far, a love left behind,
A prison in my future, peace I can’t find.
I dream of the days when the skies weren’t so gray—
The road I never took seems miles away.
(Verse 2)
I had a wife once, we dreamed out loud,
But the silence grew, and I let her down.
Now I sit with these walls, the life I lost,
Counting all the dreams that came at a cost.
If I could go back, would I fight a bit more?
Hold my family close, keep my feet on the floor?
Or would the weight of it all still have me shook,
Wondering about the road I never took?
(Chorus)
What if the world didn’t turn me away?
Would I be standing tall today?
Would I still be a man who never fell,
Or am I just trapped in this hotel?
A daughter so far, a love left behind,
A prison in my future, peace I can’t find.
I dream of the days when the skies weren’t so gray—
The road I never took seems miles away.
(Bridge)
There was a time I had it all,
But no one hears when the mighty fall.
Now I’m just a ghost in my own mind,
Chasing a life I’ll never find.
(Outro)
If I could walk those roads again,
Would I change, would I bend?
Or would I still end up this way,
Wishing for roads that slipped away?
The man I was, the man I became,
They both carry the weight of shame.
But in my heart, I still look
For that road I never took.
