The Safe Side Lyrics


Have you ever wondered what life would be like
If you'd only went left instead of taking that right
If you had waited just ten more minutes to leave the house
Would it all be different, yeah
Every decision everything we choose
Has a consequence whether we win or lose
Nobody knows that any better than me
I left her standing at the station with a ticket and a dream
Yes, she's the train that I didn't take
The big commitment I just couldn't make
For fear of breaking my heart, I didn't risk the ride
Yes, she's the lesson I learned the hard way
Now being lonely is the price I pay
The river of regret runs deep and wide
Here on the safe side, oh
I still remember the night she left
She said she didn't want to lose me but she had to find herself
I could've stopped her or got on board with her

But now it's too late to reconsider
Yes, she's the train that I didn't take
The big commitment I just couldn't make
For fear of breaking my heart, I didn't risk the ride
Yes, she's the lesson I learned the hard way
Now being lonely is the price I pay
The river of regret runs deep and wide
Here on the safe side
Sometimes the greatest risk of all
Is never taking one at all
She's the train that I didn't take
The big commitment I just couldn't make
For fear of breaking my heart, I didn't risk that ride
Yes, she's the lesson I learned the hard way
Now being lonely is the price I pay
The river of regret runs deep and wide
Here on the safe side
Oh, oh I don't want to be alone
Here on the safe side
Here on the safe side

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Chris Cagle, born November 10, 1968, is a country music singer and songwriter who was born in DeRidder, Louisiana and raised in Baytown, Texas. After graduating from Robert E. Lee High School in Baytown, Texas, he attended The University of Texas at Arlington for a short time, but dropped out to pursue a musical career. During his college years he was a brother of the Missouri Theta chapter of Phi Delta Theta.

After years of toiling, he was signed with Virgin Records in 2000. Cagle made his debut on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts with the single My Love Goes On And On, the first single from his debut album Play It Loud. The album, which was certified gold in the United States, also produced the Top 10 hit Laredo and I Breathe In, I Breathe Out, his first and only Number One hit.

Play It Loud was followed in 2002 by Chris Cagle, released on Capitol Records. Also a gold album in the U.S., it produced the Top 5 hits What A Beautiful Day and Chicks Dig It. Anywhere But Here, his third compilation, followed in 2005 and produced the #12-peaking Miss Me Baby. A fourth studio album, titled My Life's Been A Country Song, was released in 2008, and its lead-off single, What Kinda Gone, peaked at #3 on the country music charts in early 2008.
