Cagle Chris - The Safe Side lyrics

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
