Verse 1
I kept my wishes where they couldn't show
And smiled as if I'd learned to let them go
But every year, the longing only grew
I couldn't be the one they thought they knew
Pre-Chorus
My hands were shaking when I turned the key
I went before the fear could speak for me
Chorus
Let this road lead farther than I've ever been
Let me find the life I almost didn't live
I can be afraid and still believe
There is more to me than I can see
If I lose my way, if I walk alone
I will have a life that will be my own
Whatever comes, at least I'll know
I chose the road
Verse 2
I nearly called to say that they'd been right
My bags were by the door again that night
Then morning came; I put my things away
I didn't need to win that dayβjust stay
Chorus
Let this road lead farther than I've ever been
Let me find the life I almost didn't live
I can be afraid and still believe
There is more to me than I can see
If I lose my way, if I walk alone
I will have a life that will be my own
Whatever comes, at least I'll know
I chose the road
Bridge
If all I hoped for doesn't come to be
I won't regret the choice I made to leave
I thought I had to prove that I was strong
I'd tell myself: you mattered all along
Final Chorus
Let this road lead farther than I've ever been
Let me find the life I almost didn't live
I can be afraid and still believe
There is more to me than I can see
If I lose my way, if I walk alone
I will have a life that will be my own
Whatever comes, this much I know
I chose
