And on your way you had
Some different scenery
A different road
A slightly different scene
That's all it has been
Do you put it on destiny
Or was it a mistake
The path you didn't take
The path you didn't take
Am I the path you didn't take
What could have been twilight
Was sunrise instead
There could have been
Someone else in your bed
That's what I said
How does it help for you
To call it a mistake
The path you didn't take
A turn you didn't make
Or like a chain you didn't break
The path you didn't take
Don't sit at home and think about it
Going back with a fine tooth comb's
Gonna make you doubt it
Tell me do you really want to live without it
Call it an accident
Call it a mistake
The path you didn't take
Don't sit at home and think about it
Going back with a fine tooth comb's
Gonna make you doubt it
Tell me do you really want to live without it
As time goes on
Maybe you will forget about it
It's not good to trace it back
Til you're upset about it
Tell me do you really want to live without it
Do you really think
We oughta live without it
