Lyrics
The Road Not Taken
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The things that you could have done
The songs that I should have sung
But it wasn't that easy
The times that you could have stayed
The love that we would have made
No, it wasn't that easy
These, these are the thoughts
That come back to haunt
You late at night
Why can't you forgive yourself?
For the road not taken
A path forsaken
And though your heart is breaking
Ain't it time to move on?
The life that we could have shared
The beauty and the despair
Or so I believed
And yet, my greatest mistake
The road that I chose to take
Took me away
No, there's no holding on
To something that's gone
And wasn't to be
Then why can't I forgive myself?
For the road not taken
A path forsaken
And though my heart is breaking
Ain't it time to move on?
And now, the tears have been shed
There are new roads ahead
You can set yourself free
Time, time to forgive ourselves
For the road not taken
A path forsaken
And when your hopes are shaken
You got to re-awaken
And though our hearts are breaking
Ain't it time to move on?
(Inspired by the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost)
