Lyrics | Human Melodies | Did I Choose Wrong?

Did I Choose Wrong?

(Did I choose wrong?)

I broke everything I’ve ever built
The bridges I made have now fallen
I only wanted to make things right
Guess I’m a victim of my own pride

Can I just please try to rewind?
Could I rewind just a single night?

Did I choose wrong? Is it too late now?
I built a cage, and I’m stuck in it somehow
Is all the damage already done?
I want to fix it, but maybe it’s all gone

I only wanted to get the advantage
Is it that wrong to want to be first?
I scream at the sky, but there’s no answer
Now I’m afraid it will reply with anger

Can I just please try to rewind?
Could I rewind just a single night?

Did I choose wrong? Is it too late now?
I built a cage, and I’m stuck in it somehow
Is all the damage already done?
I want to fix it, but maybe it’s all gone

I only wanted to be better
I only wanted not to surrender
I only wanted… to not choose wrong

Can I just please try to rewind?
Could I rewind just a single night?

Did I choose wrong? Is it too late now?
I built a cage, and I’m stuck in it somehow
Is all the damage already done?
I want to fix it, but maybe it’s all gone

What if forgiveness never comes?
What if I can’t ever rewrite?
What if life’s ink is already dried?
What if this is the end of the ride?

Did I choose wrong?
Can I retry?
Did I choose wrong?
Can someone reply?

Song info

A song about regret and the desire to undo past decisions. The imagery of building cages that trap oneself reflects how our choices can become our prisons. The repeated questions without answers convey the uncertainty and anxiety of wondering if life could have been different.
