Crossroads and Regrets

[Verse]
(Him) I met you where the highway bends, where the cornfields touch the sky,
(Her) The sun was sinking low, casting gold as it said goodbye.
(Him) Your eyes were like a compass, pointing where I'd never been,
(Her) But every road I've traveled feels like coming home again.
[Chorus]
(Both) Crossroads and regrets, oh, the paths we didn’t take,
(Him) The nights we spent in whispers,
(Her) The mornings we’d awake.
(Both) Hearts in the rearview, shadows that linger yet,
(Her) Caught between the crossroads,
(Him) And a lifetime of regrets.
[Verse 2]
(Her) Your boots were worn, your soul was torn, chasing some distant flame,
(Him) You carried every burden, but you never spoke their name.
(Her) I thought I’d be your anchor, but you drifted out to sea,
(Him) I thought I’d find salvation, but it slipped away from me.
[Prechorus]
(Both) The stars above were silent, the road signs turned to dust,
(Her) We gambled on forever,
(Him) And traded love for trust.
[Chorus]
(Both) Crossroads and regrets, oh, the dreams we couldn’t save,
(Him) The echoes of your laughter,
(Her) The promises we gave.
(Both) Hearts in the rearview, shadows that linger yet,
(Her) Caught between the crossroads,
(Him) And a lifetime of regrets.
[Bridge]
(Him) If I could turn this wheel around, retrace the lines we drew,
(Her) I’d meet you where the highway bends, and write a tale brand new.
(Both) But time keeps rolling faster, no matter how we pray,
(Her) The miles stretch out behind us,
(Him) And the price we’ve had to pay.
