I drove down that old dirt road at dawn,
The sun was rising, but I felt so withdrawn.
Memories fading like the mist in the air,
I searched for a sign, but you were never there.
These winding paths just lead me astray,
With every turn, I’m losing my way.
So I’ll raise a glass to the dreams that I’ve lost,
To the lessons learned and the heavy cost.
In this silent night, I’ll find my fate,
But till then, I’m just feeling out of place
Stars used to guide me, but they all went dark,
The heart of the journey lost its spark.
Footsteps echo where love used to lay,
Now I’m just wandering, day after day
In the shadows of doubt, I’ve gone astray,
With every heartbeat, I’m losing my way.
Could it have been different,
I guess I’ll never know
We both chose different paths
At the fork in the road.
So I’ll raise a glass to the dreams that I’ve lost,
To the lessons learned and the heavy cost.
In this silent night, I’ll find my fate,
But till then, I’m just feeling out of place
These roads are getting longer every day,
And I can’t help but feel I’m losing my way.
Could it have been different,
I guess we’ll never know
We both took different paths
At the fork in the road
