The Path Not Taken

[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] In a crowded room I caught your gaze Time seemed to slow the world a haze Your smile so warm it drew me in A flutter in my chest where do I begin? I felt a pull a magnetic force But doubt crept in and I stayed the course A chance to speak to break the ice But fear held me back a cowardly vice [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] I watched you smile I watched you laugh I longed to be the reason why But fear held me back a silent graph Of chances missed a path gone by [Verse 3] I've reached the peaks I once pursued Success and fame, all I construed But in the depths of my success A void remains, a lingering mess The chance I missed, the path untrod A haunting memory, a painful prod [Instrumental break] [Verse 4] I often find my thoughts drift to That moment when our eyes first met A chance not taken a path not pursued A decision I'll always regret [Chorus] Now I'm burdened by regret Of what could have been the chance I let slip away All the success I've gained since then Feels hollow without knowing how it might have been [Verse 5] I've reached the heights I once desired But there's a void a missing piece A path not taken a chance untried A lifetime wondering what could have been [Instrumental break] [Verse 4] I often find my thoughts drift to That moment when our eyes first met A chance not taken a path not pursued A decision I'll always regret [Chorus] Now I'm burdened by regret Of what could have been the chance I let slip away All the success I've gained since then Feels hollow without knowing how it might have been [Verse 5] I've reached the heights I once desired But there's a void a missing piece A path not taken a chance untried A lifetime wondering what could have been [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 6] If I could turn back time I would I'd walk right up and say hello I'd take the leap I'd take the chance To see where this path could advance [Verse 7] But life goes on and I must too I'll carry the weight of my regret A bittersweet reminder of the truth That a single moment can change the rest [Instrumental Break] [Verse 8] So if you're listening if you hear This message from my heart to yours Don't let your chances disappear Seize the moment open the doors [Chorus] Don't be burdened by regret Of what could have been the chance you let slip away All the success you gain in life Means nothing without taking that dive [Outro] Take a chance, let your heart guide Before the moment passes by [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 6] If I could turn back time I would I'd walk right up and say hello I'd take the leap I'd take the chance To see where this path could advance [Verse 7] But life goes on and I must too I'll carry the weight of my regret A bittersweet reminder of the truth That a single moment can change the rest [Instrumental Break] [Verse 8] So if you're listening if you hear This message from my heart to yours Don't let your chances disappear Seize the moment open the doors [Chorus] Don't be burdened by regret Of what could have been the chance you let slip away All the success you gain in life Means nothing without taking that dive [Outro] Take a chance, let your heart guide Before the moment passes by Don't live with regrets, like I do now Seize your chance, take a bow [Instrumental Extended Interlude] [END] away All the success you gain in life Means nothing without taking that dive [Outro] Take a chance, let your heart guide Before the moment passes by Don't live with regrets, like I do now Seize your chance, take a bow [Instrumental Extended Interlude] [END]
