[Verse 1] You knew the road would split ahead, I saw it in the way you read The map folded between our hands, Two honest lines, two distant lands. Still, every mile we shared was ours, A little proof against the hours. [Pre-Chorus] If I can’t ask the road to bend, I can still name what we became. [Chorus] Please understand, don’t let it fade To just a place we passed one day. Our paths divide; the bond stays true— I carry what I learned from you. We had our time; it mattered then, And it will matter, even when The distance takes us out of view, I’m glad the world once brought me you. [Verse 2] Your patience changed the pace I kept, You saw the promise I’d misplaced. I gave you courage when you froze; You gave me room to trust my own. No need to call it meant to last For every good thing to hold fast. [Breakdown] We don’t have to stay For it to have been real. [Final Chorus] Please understand, don’t let it fade To just a place we passed one day. Our paths divide; the bond stays true— I carry what I learned from you. We had our time; it mattered then, And it will matter, even when The distance takes us out of view, I’m glad the world once brought me you. [Outro] Two roads ahead. What we were stays true.
