The Safe Side - Chris Cagle
Have you ever wondered
What life would be like
If you'd only went left instead
Of taking that right
If you had waited just ten more
Minutes to leave the house
Would it all be different
Every decision everything we choose
Has a consequence whether we win or lose
Nobody knows that any better than me
I left her standing at the station
With a ticket and a dream
She's the train that I didn't take
The big commitment I just couldn't make
For fear of breaking my heart
I didn't risk the ride
She's the lesson I learned the hard way
Now being lonely is the price I pay
The river of regret runs deep and wide
Here on the safe side
I still remember
The night she left
She said she didn't want to
Lose me but she had to find herself
I could've stopped her or got
On board with her
But now it's too late to reconsider
She's the train that I didn't take
The big commitment I just couldn't make
For fear of breaking my heart
I didn't risk the ride
She's the lesson I learned the hard way
Now being lonely is the price I pay
The river of regret runs deep and wide
Here on the safe side
Sometimes the greatest risk of all
Is never taking one at all
She's the train that I didn't take
The big commitment I just couldn't make
For fear of breaking my heart
I didn't risk the ride
She's the lesson I learned the hard way
Now being lonely is the price I pay
The river of regret runs deep and wide
Here on the safe side
Oh I don't want to be alone
Here on the safe side
