Detour

Lyrics

**[INTRO]** In the depths of this misplaced affection, I stumbled, drowning in a sea of unsaid words, Each syllable felt like a dagger, leaving me exposed, Confronted by a cold hard fact and a heart in ruins. **[VERSE 1]** She shot me down with, "Theo, let’s not kid ourselves; you’re just not my scene," and that blow landed with precision. "I'm madly in love with someone else, and spoiler alert: it's definitely not you; that’s just how the cookie crumbles." Her heart? Completely locked up, and guess what? I don’t even have the key, She’s wrapped up in a passion so dazzling, it sweeps her off her feet. **[CHORUS]** I’m not "the one"—more like a detour on a road trip, Just a fleeting thought, with love hanging by a thread. I’m nowhere near your ideal; more like the comic relief, Cast in the background shadows until this show's curtain falls. **[VERSE 2]** Our beliefs collide like two gladiators in the arena, A connection that’s never destined to ignite, yet my heart stays put like a stubborn spectator. She views me as just another player in her unsupported love story, A truth I’ve slowly come to swallow. **[CHORUS]** I’m not "the one"—just a wrinkle in time, A fleeting thought, as love tightropes between desire and despair. I’m not what you’ve been dreaming of; just a trusty sidekick, Lingering in the shadows until the final act of the drama unfolds. **[HOOK]** Time to hit pause on this love farce and reboot, I’m no gallant knight; I just don’t fit the narrative. In this arena of true romantic pursuits, I’ll carve out my own path and chase it down. **[BRIDGE]** Maybe someday, my journey will cross with something real, A love that transcends the mundane of life’s grind. But for now, I'll muster the strength to release, And search for my heart in the uncharted quests that lie ahead. **[CHORUS]** I’m not "the one"—just a deviation in the script, A fleeting notion, as love hangs precariously in the balance. I’m not what you envisioned; just a comic relief, Stuck in the dim light until this saga finds its final act. **[OUTRO]** In the echoes of a love I can’t possess, I’ll set forth on my own journey; I’ll be just fine. No more chasing shadows, no more heartache, I’ll leap into love again when the moment's right, with my heart aligned, and ready for the next round.
