[Verse 1] I never wanted anyone to fall, Never wanted names erased at all. But every road kept narrowing down Until one choice was all I found. They told me where to aim my hand, Drew a line and called it right. But every face beyond that line Looked just as afraid as mine. [Pre-Chorus] If I refuse, someone may pay. If I obey, someone fades away. When every road leaves someone scarred, How am I supposed to know what’s right? [Chorus] Was my choice the right one? Who gets to decide? Who draws the line Between wrong and right? I never wanted To take a life. So why am I standing here, Afraid of the strength inside? What am I here for? What am I meant to be? I truly thought that you and I Could walk the same road peacefully. [Verse 2] The stronger I become each day, The more I fear what strength can take. One moment, one command, one spark Can make a living voice go still. They call this power something good, A shield to keep the world alive. But every weapon made to guard Still carries the power to strike. I hear the echoes after fights, Questions louder than the fire. Could I have waited one more breath? Could there have been another way? [Pre-Chorus] Freedom sounded beautiful Before I held it in my hands. Now every choice belongs to me, And so does what it leaves behind. [Chorus] Was my choice the right one? Who gets to decide? Who writes the answer Before someone has to die? I never wanted To take a life. But standing still can hurt someone, And mercy has another side. What am I here for? What am I meant to be? I truly thought that you and I Could walk the same road peacefully. [Bridge] I looked at you and saw no monster, Only someone much like me. Someone searching for an answer, Someone longing to be free. I thought if we could speak one moment, Leave the orders far behind, Maybe neither one of us Would have to cross that final line. But you raised your hand. And I raised mine. For one second, We still had time. [Final Chorus] Was my choice the right one? I still cannot say. Right and wrong keep changing shape With every choice we make. I never wanted To take your life. I only wanted one more road Where both of us could leave alive. What am I here for? Maybe I’ll never know. But if this will is truly mine, Then I must choose where I will go. And even now, After all that we went through, The hardest truth I carry Is I still wanted to stand with you.
