When Our Roads Divide

[Verse 1]
You drew a map in pencil on the train
Two branching lines that wouldn't meet again
I watched your finger pause beside my name
As if the page could keep us in one frame

[Pre-Chorus]
If distance takes the shape it has to take
Please know I never called this time a mistake

[Chorus]
When our roads divide, don't let the thread go thin
Remember what we changed by letting each other in
We couldn't make forever from the days we had
But every part was real, and none of it was small

[Verse 2]
You taught me how to say the harder truth
I gave you back the nerve to start anew
Now different doors are waiting where we stand
I won't ask you to turn from what you planned

[Chorus]
When our roads divide, don't let the thread go thin
Remember what we changed by letting each other in
We couldn't make forever from the days we had
But every part was real, and none of it was small

[Half-Time Bridge]
Go on, take the road that calls you
I'll keep the good we made
If you ever doubt it mattered
I hope you hear me say

[Final Chorus]
When our roads divide, don't let the thread go thin
Remember what we changed by letting each other in
We couldn't make forever, still the truth stands tall:
You mattered to me deeply. None of it was small.

[Outro]
Different roads, the same true mark
Carry it with you, wherever you are
