Sometimes the hardest road
Is the one that leads back home
I gave you all my seasons, every harvest and the rain
You took my trust like water, poured it down the drain
I watched you build a castle from the stones I laid with care
Now I'm standing in the ruins, breathing broken air
They say a man's a fool who loves beyond his sight
But wisdom comes from darkness before it finds the light
We are the choices that we make when nobody is watching
We are the promises we break and the wounds that we keep patching
You showed me that betrayal wears a face you think you know
But redemption is the garden where forgiveness learns to grow
I blamed the world for seasons turning cold without a warning
Till I learned that every sunset is just promise of a morning
You taught me pain's a teacher with a lesson hard to bear
That love ain't just the holding, it's the knowing when to care
Some people are the chapter, not the story that you write
And letting go's the freedom that can make your burden light
We are the choices that we make when nobody is watching
We are the promises we break and the wounds that we keep patching
You showed me that betrayal wears a face you think you know
But redemption is the garden where forgiveness learns to grow
So here's to roads we didn't take
And hearts that learned to mend
Sometimes the love that breaks you
Is the one that makes you whole again
