Path of No Return

Marcos Rogério Dos Santos

Compositor: Marcos Rogério Dos Santos

One day I thought the world had stopped
When you left, everything changed
That scent and the sound of your voice
Still echo here, as part of us

For a while, I was trapped in yesterday
The memories held me so tight
But life goes on without pause
And I had to learn to stop waiting for you

I looked in the mirror and saw who I had become
What I lost doesn’t define who I am
The love I felt, time kept
But now it’s time to follow what remains

I left the past where it belongs
Because life goes on and we learn
What seemed like the end became a new beginning
And every pain taught me to appreciate
I won’t look back anymore
The future is where my peace is
With you, I was happy
But the road calls me to what I haven't done yet

Every step I take leads me further away
Even if the path is still uncertain
What I felt for us didn’t die
It just transformed, and my heart grew

I thought that longing would hold me back
But it showed me what it means to cherish
The scars I bear remind me of who I am
And now I understand, that’s what shaped me

The questions that once made me suffer
Today are the answers that help me grow
What I lost hasn’t truly disappeared
It remains here, as strength and freedom

I left the past where it belongs
Because life goes on and we learn
What seemed like the end became a new beginning
And every pain taught me to appreciate
I won’t look back anymore
The future is where my peace is
With you, I was happy
But the road calls me to what I haven't done yet

Now I know that love is not an end
It’s what turns the beginning into a garden
Every mistake, every fall, every choice I made
Brought me here, and that’s why I exist

I left the past where it belongs
Because life goes on and we learn
What seemed like the end became a new beginning
And every pain taught me to appreciate
I won’t look back anymore
The future is where my peace is
With you, I was happy
But the road calls me to what I haven't done yet
