[Intro] Ever wonder where you would be If you took the path that wasn’t the obvious choice? If you didn’t act impulsively… Let’s start before 2010, think back to the person you were The place in love you were If you had made a different choice in work, where would you be now? [Verse 1] I know my story has come to an end That’s why you will never be my friend All this time I thought you was the one Turns out you were just number one Look back a year, five years, a decade What would you have decided instead? If you didn’t make the bad choices you did that one weekend How would you be now? So here I go hurting myself Wishing you were coming home But it’s been past a year and I know It’s time for me to go on [Build] What do I do? I can’t go on I keep thinking of all those times you said you’d come back That you’d never leave, never turn your back And here I am a year later… If you decided not to go out that night and stay in The person you would be today… he would be? How would that have impacted where and who you are now? The answers? That’s for you to decide [Drop / Hook] Not for you But so I can be a stronger man Not for you But so I can be a stronger man Ever wonder where you would be If you took the path that wasn’t the obvious choice? Not for you But so I can be a stronger man [Bridge – Call & Response] What do I do? (Look back a year) I can’t go on (Five years, a decade) You said you’d come back (What would you have decided instead?) Never turn your back (The answers? That’s for you to decide) And here I am a year later Starting up again Not for you But so I can be a stronger man So I’ll never be in this position with you again [Outro] Think back to the person you were The place in love you were I know my story has come to an end But I’m starting up again Not for you But so I can be a stronger man
