have you ever wondered what life would be Like
if you 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? (yeah...)
every decision, everything we choose has a concesquence
whether we win or lose. nobody knows that better than me,
i left her standing at the station with a ticket and a dream
yea shes the train that I didn't take
the big commetment I just couldnt make.
for fear of breaking my heart I didnt risk the ride
yea shes 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.

(whoa) i still remember the night she left
she said she didnt want to lose me but she had to find herself
I could have stopped her or got on board with her
but now its too late to reconsider.

shes the train that I didnt take
the big commitment i just couldnt make
for fear of breaking my heart, i didnt risk the ride
yea shes 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.

shes the train that I didnt take
the big commiment i just couldnt make
for fear of breaking my hert I didnt risk that ride
yea shes 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.
(oohhh, oohh i dont want to be alone here on the safe side)
