I took the long way home again
Missed every sign on the road
Bet my heart on a bad hand
Told myself I was bold
Mama said, Girl, slow down
But I was sure I knew it all
Yeah, I folded when I should’ve called
Watched my own chips fall
I don’t blame fate or bad luck nights
It’s my name on every line
I zigged when I should’ve zagged
Every damn time
I zigged when I should’ve zagged
Said “I’m fine” when I should’ve asked
Loved too fast, trusted wrong
Held on when I should’ve gone
I folded when I should’ve called
Thought I was strong, just scared to fall
I’m still standin’, just a little cracked
From all the times I zigged instead of zagged
I chased the fire, ignored the smoke
Called chaos butterflies
Put my faith in a pretty smile
Swore this one would be right
I had a chance to walk away
Felt the truth in my gut
But I doubled down on a losing hand
Yeah, I pushed my luck
I ain’t sayin’ I’m a victim here
I chose every door I kicked in
But maybe next time I’ll read the room
Before I bet on the wind
I zigged when I should’ve zagged
Said “I’m fine” when I should’ve asked
Loved too fast, trusted wrong
Held on when I should’ve gone
I folded when I should’ve called
Thought I was brave, just scared to stall
I’m still standin’, just a little cracked
From all the times I zigged instead of zagged
I’m learnin’ slow, but I’m learnin’ still
Got scars that finally talk back
Next hand dealt, I’ll play it smart
No more ziggin’ when I should’ve zagged
