The road I never took

"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.
