Every Road Led Here

There was one who slowly faded

no goodbye no final scene

Just a thousand little moments turning into in between

There was one who left an argument with words we couldn’t take

back

And one i walked away from

cause i wasn’t ready for that

I was scared i’d hurt somebody

while i was trying to heal myself

So i chose to let him go instead of losing who i

was

And i wondered if i was broken if love just wasn’t meant

for me

If every almost every ending

was all i’d ever get to see

But maybe every road led here every goodbye every tear

Every person i couldn’t keep was bringing me

a little nearer

To the life i couldn’t see waiting somewhere ahead of me

I thought they were the endings but they were only chapters here

Maybe every road i walked was leading me here

One took me to a dance with intentions i cant share

And when i didn’t give him what he wanted suddenly he wasn’t

there

And another one was my best friend for years,

and maybe thats what hurt the most

We knew each others every version

but still couldn’t find the road

We kept reaching for an answer

neither one of us could give

So i stopped expecting someone to walk in and make things right

I just wanted one good memory

one good person one good night

Then charlotte said jacob knows a guy and i got worried

Because i wasn’t looking

for a love story that night

Just somebody to go to prom with just somebody who felt right

February 24th

a message on my phone

I was told he thought i was pretty and somehow we weren’t

strangers long

Under stadium lights was the first time i saw him standing there

Then at singing in the rain and suddenly he kept showing up

everywhere

His prom, my prom,

two people, pretending this was just a date

Until 3 in the morning when everything changed

Maybe every road led here

every wrong turn every tear

Every person who couldn’t love me was teaching me what love should

really be

Not perfect not a fairytale not something i could plan

He’d been hurt before me i had my own scars too

Neither of us knew what this was going to turn into

But somehow every road i walked was leading me to you

A first kiss beneath the noise of a graduation night

And suddenly all those years didn’t feel like a waste of time

The girl who thought she had to run when she was scared

she’d cause someone pain

Found somebody who didn’t ask her to be anything but herself

So maybe every road led here every heartbreak every fear

Every version of myself that i thought i’d have to leave behind

Was still a part of getting here

I don’t know what tomorrow holds and neither does he

He’s got five years ahead of him i’ve got my own dream

waiting for me

He’s got a road to,

walk i’ve got a sky to chase

Two different futures starting from the same place

And maybe we’ll change maybe life will move more fast

Maybe someday we’ll look back and wonder how it went so fast

But for now i wear you t-shirt to bed and your hat

to the fair

And love every second i’m with you and when you run your

hand through my hair

Right now we’re here and thats enough Because every road i walked

Every door that closed

Every person i lost

Every place i had to grow

Every

road led here
