Stuck Here at the Crossroad
Crossroads of Heartache: Navigating Lost Love and Hope
Lyrics
I wish you would have told me I was wasting my time
I feel regret that you didn't inform me earlier that my time was being wasted
'Cause then it wouldn't have hurt so much when you went and changed your mind
If I had known, the pain of your change of heart wouldn't be as intense
I don't really know what I want from you anymore
I'm unsure about my expectations from you at this point
But the weight is on my shoulders now and I don't know what for
I bear a burden now, but I'm uncertain of its purpose
I see your reflection every time I pass the window of a shop
Your presence is a constant reminder, even in mundane moments
And I can't even go back home to make it stop
Returning home doesn't offer relief from these reminders
'Cause everywhere I go you're there following me around
Your influence follows me wherever I go
I can't escape it, or erase it, or block out the sound
I cannot escape or ignore the memories and emotions
But I will turn around to check if you're still there, somewhere
I check to see if you're still present, though I wish you weren't
And I will try to tell myself that I don't care, I swear
I attempt to convince myself that I don't care, but it's challenging
But I've lost the road that I was walking down
I've deviated from the path I intended to take
It should've been the one to lead me back to you
The path should have led me back to you, but it didn't
So now I'm stuck here at the crossroad, wondering what to do
I'm now stuck at a crossroad, uncertain of the next step
There's something that's surrounding me, well I'm the film and it's been paused
There's an obstacle preventing progress, and I'm hesitant to move forward
And I don't wanna press play in fear of losing even more
I fear that resuming our story will lead to more losses
I'm looking forward to the time when I remember us with a smile
I look forward to a future where memories bring a smile
But I think that I'm just frozen in this moment for a while
However, I'm currently trapped in this moment of pain
But I will hope that when the phone starts ringing, it's you out there, somewhere
Despite the uncertainty, I hope for your call
And I still know there was a moment when you cared, I swear, I was there
I believe there was a time when you cared, and I wish to return to it
But I've lost the road that I was walking down
Similar to line 11, I've strayed from the intended path
It should've been the one to lead me back to you
The path should have led me back to you, but it didn't
So now I'm stuck here at the crossroad, wondering what to do
I'm still stuck at the crossroad, unsure of my next move
Are you sad for all the wasted days? The wasted fun and all the ways you'd
Reflecting on lost days, fun, and the ways you once shared your joy
Give your happy heart to me, when mine was nowhere to be seen
You gave me happiness when I couldn't find my own
So now I'll live on the hope that if the stars can align
I cling to the hope that our paths may cross again
Our paths might cross again someday
A positive future reunion is anticipated
And we'll be just fine
Optimism for reconciliation and a better future
But it's so hard to see
The current situation is challenging to comprehend
'Cause it all feels like just a dream
Everything feels like a surreal dream
So I will think of all the things that could have been, for you and me
I'll imagine the possibilities that didn't materialize for us
And I'll close the book, put it back on the shelf, never to be seen
Closing the chapter and moving on from the past
'Cause it's not me you need
I acknowledge that I'm not the one you need
(It's not me)
Reiterating that I'm not the right person for you
And I'll find the road that I must walk down
I'll find a new path to walk, one that leads to someone else
Yeah it'll be the one to lead me onto someone new
A hopeful anticipation of a new and different journey
But for now I'm stuck here at the crossroad, without you
For now, I'm stranded at the crossroad without you
Yeah I'm stuck here at the crossroad
Reiteration of being stuck at the crossroad
Without you
The ongoing feeling of being stuck without your presence
