We
counted every could have been
Every choice we tugged within
A thousand paths we didn't take A thousand promises at stake
We whispered fears in midnight
rooms And traced the shadows of our gloom
Every misstep,
every stress Adds up to all our second guesses
We tiptoed past what we desired And lit the sparks that never fired
The sum of all our second guesses Is written in our quiet confessions
All the words we never said All the roads we left unsaid
We tried, we failed,
we loved,
we lost We paid the heartache,
bore the cost
The sum of all our second guesses Is every truth we can't suppress
After he left, you've changed a lot
Since he bore in the gut It don't matter what the strand
The worst drug of all The addiction to a man
We loved,
we lost,
we paid the heartache,
bore the cost The sum of all our second
guesses Is every truth we can't suppress
Maybe
life is made of what ifs Of silent prayers and untied ribs
Every fear,
every retreat adds a rhythm to our heart beat
And in the end, those scars remain
We gather meaning from the pain
The sum of all our second guesses is
a map of our own unfinished lessons
The roads we missed, the tears we bled
The words unsaid, the nights we fled
We tried,
we fell,
we lost,
we learned And in the end,
the fire still burned
The sum of all our second guesses
is everything that made us who we is
