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
