[Intro] [Instrumental] [Bright synth hook, tight bass, restrained guitar accents] [Verse 1] You wanted a house where the roses would grow A quiet little street where the neighbours all know I wanted a suitcase, a road and a train To wake in the morning and start again You talked about children, a garden, a name I talked about places I'd never yet seen We tried to build one dream from two But every road was pulling me away from you [Pre-Chorus] We didn't break, we didn't fight There was no one wrong, there was no one right We only reached that difficult place Where love can stay, but people change [Chorus] Different lives, different roads Different dreams we're taking home You want roots, I want the skies We couldn't make one dream from two different lives Different hearts, but not goodbye No bitter words, no alibis I still love you, I won't deny But we were born to live two different lives [Verse 2] You kept the keys to the little front door I packed my things and I asked for no more You said, "Maybe someday you'll turn around" I said, "Maybe someday I'll come back to this town" There was a time when I thought we'd grow old With the same four walls and the same stories told But somewhere between what we had and we'd planned We became two strangers who still understand [Pre-Chorus] We didn't break, we didn't fight There was no one wrong, there was no one right Sometimes the hardest thing to do Is let someone go when you still love them too [Chorus] Different lives, different roads Different dreams we're taking home You want roots, I want the skies We couldn't make one dream from two different lives Different hearts, but not goodbye No bitter words, no alibis I still love you, I won't deny But we were born to live two different lives [Instrumental Break] [Memorable synthesizer hook] [Clean electric guitar fills] [Wordless backing vocals] [Bridge] Maybe we'll meet on another day When neither of us has to choose this way You'll tell me about the life you found I'll tell you where I've travelled since leaving town And for a moment, we'll both understand We were never meant to hold the same hand Some love stays with you, though the lovers depart You can leave someone's life without leaving their heart [Final Chorus] [Key change to E major] Different lives, different roads Different dreams we're taking home You found your roots, I found my skies We couldn't make one dream from two different lives Different hearts, but not goodbye No bitter words, no alibis I still love you, I won't deny But we were born to live two different lives [Final Chorus] Different lives, different roads Different dreams we're taking home You found your roots, I found my skies Two separate journeys, two different lives [Outro] [Female vocal, softer] Different lives... Different roads... Still a part of me... Wherever life goes... [Instrumental Outro] [Repeat main synth hook, fade out]
