what I know Now

V4.5

(Verse 1) I took the long road, thought I knew the way But every turn just led me more astray Left behind the dreams I used to chase Buried them deep in time and space (Pre-Chorus) I wonder who I’d be today If I had just found words to say To hold on tighter, not let go To follow fire I used to know (Chorus) If I had known then what I know now Would I have stood taller, braver somehow? Would I have danced when the moment called? Loved a little louder, risked it all? All those missed chances, faded sparks Still burn a quiet hole in my heart But every wrong turn led me to this place To find myself, to find my grace (Verse 2) I’ve seen the stars fall without a sound Felt my whole world crumble to the ground But through the silence and the pain I’ve found the strength to rise again (Pre-Chorus) Sometimes the "what-ifs" steal your peace But I’m learning how to let them be The past can’t change, but I can grow From every lost and buried hope (Chorus) If I had known then what I know now Would I have stood taller, braver somehow? Would I have danced when the moment called? Loved a little louder, risked it all? All those missed chances, faded sparks Still burn a quiet hole in my heart But every wrong turn led me to this place To find myself, to find my grace (Bridge) Maybe the road was meant to bend To teach me how to start again I wouldn’t be the me I am Without the fall, without the end (Final Chorus) If I had known then what I know now I wouldn’t change it — not one vow I’d still dance through the rise and fall Still chase the dreams that dared to call All those missed chances taught me more Than perfect moments ever swore And in the ruins, I found my face I found my path. I found my place. (Outro) So here I stand, mistakes and scars Still reaching for the healing stars No more what-ifs, no need to hide I found my truth on this wild ride
