Don't Turn Around

The bus was waiting down the line
Seven forty-five on time
Ticket folded in my hand
One more chance to leave this land
People rushing, passing by
But nobody could hear my mind

I had my doubts, I had my fears
I whispered, "I can leave them here"

Don't turn around
This bus is leaving this old town
One small ticket, one last chance
To leave behind this old romance
I hold my book, I close my eyes
And watch the tears turn into miles
Just move on... and don't turn around

I found my seat beside the glass
And watched my old life slowly pass
The streets I knew became so small
Like they were never mine at all
I took a breath and faced the view
And a different road was waiting too

The past can call me from behind
But there's a new song left to write

Don't turn around
I found a hope I thought I'd lose
A road I never thought I'd choose
The things I left are part of me
But they don't decide who I will be
There's a new chapter waiting now
Just move on... and don't turn around

Maybe the distance makes it clear
Maybe the silence brought me here
Maybe the things I left behind
Maybe were only chapters of my life

Don't turn around...
The person I was brought me here
Through every town, far and near
The past will always be a part
A voice written in my heart
I won't forget the songs I wrote
The promises hidden in every note
Just walk... and don't turn around
