It would have been so easy to keep going straight Not take the turn left Straight….a mere 13 miles and I'd be at your door Straight….you'd have to face me Straight…..tell me where I went wrong 13 miles, so close, eternity away *drawing a deep breath thru the tears I turn left* This road….11 miles and I'll be at my door This road….face to face with myself This road…..to question what I did wrong This road…..internal interrogation to play with my demons 11 miles, so close, too fast ***Straight….I did not go Straight***….
