[Chorus]
I could tell you where this road ends
I could draw you every turn
I could spend my whole life screaming
Trying to make you see the burn
But I can’t walk it for you
And I can’t make you choose
I can love you from a distance
But I can’t keep losing me to you

[Verse 2]
I used to think that healing
Would feel like finding solid ground
Like one day I’d wake up certain
That I’d finally figured it out
But mostly it was quiet
And boring
And lonely as hell
Learning how to speak without fear
Learning who I was myself
One small thing tomorrow
One small thing today
Choosing something unfamiliar
When familiar felt safer anyway
And nobody promised me
That any of it would work
I just kept choosing differently
And hoping that was enough

[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder why I bother
Why I keep choosing what I’ve never known
There’s no proof that this gets better
No map waiting when I go
Just this stubborn little feeling
That keeps getting up with me
Saying,
maybe tomorrow
I’ll become someone
I was never taught to be

[Final Chorus]
I know where your road ends
I've watched it all my life
And I still wish you'd turn around
I still wish we'd got it right
I don't think you're a monster
I don't think I'm free of blame
I just know that loving someone
Doesn't mean repeating the same
So I'll leave the door unlocked
But I won't stand there anymore
I can grieve what we could've been
Without becoming what we were

[Outro]
I still hope you find another way.
I really do.
But tomorrow
I promise to show up for me to.

[Verse 1] I think I’ve watched this for too long To still believe it’s something new Different year, familiar words Different faces, same old wounds Someone leaves Someone stays Someone waits for someone else To finally say the thing They’ll never say themselves And I know where this goes I’ve been here before I know every turn I know the shape of the door [Chorus] I could tell you where this road ends I could draw you every turn I could spend my whole life screaming Trying to make you see the burn But I can’t walk it for you And I can’t make you choose I can love you from a distance But I can’t keep losing me to you [Verse 2] I used to think that healing Would feel like finding solid ground Like one day I’d wake up certain That I’d finally figured it out But mostly it was quiet And boring And lonely as hell Learning how to speak without fear Learning who I was myself One small thing tomorrow One small thing today Choosing something unfamiliar When familiar felt safer anyway And nobody promised me That any of it would work I just kept choosing differently And hoping that was enough [Chorus] I could tell you where this road ends I could draw you every turn I could spend my whole life screaming Trying to make you see the burn But I can’t walk it for you And I can’t make you choose I can love you from a distance But I can’t keep losing me to you [Bridge] Sometimes I wonder why I bother Why I keep choosing what I’ve never known There’s no proof that this gets better No map waiting when I go Just this stubborn little feeling That keeps getting up with me Saying, maybe tomorrow I’ll become someone I was never taught to be [Final Chorus] I know where your road ends I've watched it all my life And I still wish you'd turn around I still wish we'd got it right I don't think you're a monster I don't think I'm free of blame I just know that loving someone Doesn't mean repeating the same So I'll leave the door unlocked But I won't stand there anymore I can grieve what we could've been Without becoming what we were [Outro] I still hope you find another way.
