Wrong Turn

[Intro – soft fingerpicked acoustic guitar, faint violin hum] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – warm guitar strums, quiet shaker] I followed a sign that pointed west Thought it would lead me to some rest The road got rough, the sky turned gray I lost my way along the way [Pre-Chorus – building violin, subtle bass] Every mile felt like a year I held onto fading hope, my dear Wondered if I’d ever find my way back home To the place where I belonged [Chorus – full guitar and violin, layered vocals] Oh, I took a very wrong turn Got lost in the bridges I should’ve burned Every step I took led me further from the truth I’m stuck in a loop of my own mistakes, it’s true [Verse 2 – softer guitar, distant bird calls] I passed a town where no one spoke Their eyes were cold, their hearts were broke I asked for help, but they turned away Left me to wander through the gray [Pre-Chorus – swelling violin, steady bass] The moon came up, the stars grew dim I hugged my coat and let the wind Carry my whispers to the empty night Praying for a sign to make it right [Chorus – more intense violin, harmonized vocals] Oh, I took a very wrong turn Got lost in the bridges I should’ve burned Every step I took led me further from the truth I’m stuck in a loop of my own mistakes, it’s true [Interlude – gentle violin solo, sparse guitar] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge – stripped-back guitar, raw vocals] I know I messed up, I know I strayed I’ve been running from the price I’ve paid But maybe tonight I’ll find the courage to turn around And face the mess I’ve found [Final Chorus – full band, soaring violin] Oh, I took a very wrong turn But I’m gonna build new bridges, watch the old ones burn Every step I take now leads me back to the truth I’m breaking the loop of my own mistakes, it’s true [Outro – fading guitar, soft violin fade] The road ahead is long and new I’m finally finding my way back to you
