[Verse 1] I kept a map of every road I didn't take Folded in the drawer beside the old house key One life wore a uniform, one learned to bake One never learned your name, or how to leave [Pre-Chorus] I kept them all alive by asking what-if Each little pawn became a weight I had to lift [Chorus] I'm running out of moves on this board Every square says what I can't restore I lay those lives down, one by one The game is done; I let them run Out of my head, out of my hands I bless the roads that never began [Verse 2] There was a version of me who stayed in town A version who spoke up before the train pulled out I don't need to drag their names around Or make a courtroom of each quiet doubt [Bridge] No final clever turn, no hidden door The pieces rest; I don't have to score [Chorus] I'm running out of moves on this board Every square says what I can't restore I lay those lives down, one by one The game is done; I let them run Out of my head, out of my hands I bless the roads that never began [Outro] I close the drawer I leave the key
