[Verse 1] I drew every door I didn't choose A paper map with a hundred rooms I kept their names in a coat-pocket fold As if one might still come true if held [Pre-Chorus] But the walls don't move when I look away And the turns I feared have worn smooth with days [Chorus] Goodbye to the lives I never lived To every almost, every what-if The maze is smaller than it used to be I let those roads stop following me [Verse 2] There was the town where I stayed too long The borrowed voice in a borrowed song I thank those selves for the ways they tried Then leave their keys on the other side [Pre-Chorus] One clear path where the branches ran A quiet room I can stand in again [Chorus] Goodbye to the lives I never lived To every almost, every what-if The maze is smaller than it used to be I let those roads stop following me [Bridge] No need to solve what wasn't mine No need to carry every sign I turn my face toward the open gate And give the lost years back their names [Outro] The maze is smaller I can let it be
