(yeah…)
Some roads…
you don’t forget ‘em.

I still think about the turns I didn’t try
Not with regret, just a different kind of why
Some doors closed quiet, some slammed
Some just waited ‘til I understood the plan
I used to think choice meant loss
Now I see it meant cost
Every mile you don’t drive
Still shape how you walk

I been good with where I landed at
But I won’t lie — I still glance back
Not to reroute, not to stall
Just to honor what I didn’t call

I don’t second-guess my spine
But I respect the paths I declined
Every “no” I said with intent
Built the man I eventually became

There’s roads I didn’t take, still know their names
Still feel ‘em when the night get late
I don’t wish I was somewhere else
I just know I could’ve been someone else
Roads I didn’t take, still part of me
Not ghosts — just history
I don’t chase ‘em, I don’t pretend
I let ‘em live… where they been

Yeah…
I had chances dressed up like shortcuts
Promises that don’t hold weight in the long run
Coulda stayed where the money talked loud
But I wanted peace more than a crowd
Some exits looked real clean
Till you saw what they cost downstream

I been wrong, I been right
I been tired of the fight
Some roads don’t lead to hell
They just don’t lead to you

Some paths fade for a reason
Some lessons don’t need repeating
I don’t carry the might-have-beens
I just walk with what I seen

There’s roads I didn’t take, still know their names
Still feel ‘em when the night get late
I don’t wish I was somewhere else
I just know I could’ve been someone else
Roads I didn’t take, still part of me
Not regret — just memory
I don’t chase ‘em, I don’t defend
I let ‘em rest… where they been

Some roads end…
so others don’t.
