(Verse 1) [3 bar intro] If I could go back To that crowded room on that ordinary night Would I walk the other direction? Never look into your eyes? Save myself the wondering About what never could be mine But then I’d miss the lessons Hidden underneath the pain The woman standing here today Would never be the same (Pre-Chorus) Some people are a season Some people are a storm Some arrive to break you open And something new is born (Chorus) Knowing everything I know I’d still take the winding road I’d still let the story unfold Every hope I held onto Every answer I couldn’t find Led me right where I needed to be On the other side No, I wouldn’t change a thing If I could go back (Verse 2) You came into my story Right when I needed change And nothing’s quite the same now Since I learned to walk away I spent years looking outward For what I needed all along Till I finally found the pieces Of myself I thought were gone (Bridge) Now the weight is gone And the silence feels like peace I’m not searching for completion I’m already whole beneath my feet And the woman I was becoming Was there all along You were just a chapter Not the ending of the song (Final Chorus) Knowing how it all would end I’d still choose the journey I’d still let the story unfold Every hope I held onto Every answer I couldn’t find Led me right where I needed to be On the other side Because losing what I thought I needed Helped me finally find The woman I was meant to be On the other side No, I wouldn’t change a thing If I could go back (Outro) Some people are a lesson Some people are a light And some help you find yourself By learning when to say goodbye
