We met where every road divides
You chose the left I chose the right
No argument no fight to win
Just silence wrapped and worn and thin
An embrace that used to hold its weight
Now drags like stone too tired to wait
I smiled and said this is the part
Where I release you from my heart
I made it simple I made it bold
I made it look like I had sold
The keys to every door we shared
And didn't care that you weren't there
You made it heavy you made it ache
You made it seem like your mistake
But I saw how your shoulders eased
The moment that our grip released
I made it final I made it clean
I made it look like I had seen
The ending written long before
Still caught myself outside your door
Years pass by the pain gets dull
We learn to hold a half-filled hull
Some beg to stay some beg to leave
I gave you both then watched you grieve
The crossroads took you far away
It took your voice it took your face
But left the echo of your name
That rings the same rings all the same
