That Song

I heard that song again the other day

The one you were convinced meant something else

I hadn’t thought of it or you in what seems like forever

Surely my life was better off that way

One of the things that haunts me from my past mistakes

Not sure which one was bigger or more avoidable

One of those moments I doubt I’ll ever fully understand

Should’ve learned from you that closure is never guaranteed

And wrong moves can be made for the right reasons

Not everything is meant to have a happy ending

And what once anchored you can be turned to lead astray

I try so hard to leave what came before where it belongs

But I can’t help wondering where I might be today

Had the moments passed a different way
