"Sum of Our Choices" is a soul-stirring ballad that blends soft rock and R&B into a lush, introspective soundscape. Soothing harmonies and a haunting electric guitar line underscore the song’s emotional depth, evoking vulnerability and raw intimacy. The lyrics explore the weight of decisions, the acceptance of past mistakes, and the quiet resolve to move forward without regret. With its tender yet resolute tone, the song lingers like a late-night confession—both a comfort and a challenge to embrace life’s unchangeable path. The repeated refrain, "Not yet," leaves a bittersweet ache, suggesting that while closure may come, it’s not time to surrender to remorse. Perfect for moments of quiet reflection, this track is a poignant reminder that our lives are shaped by the choices we own.

[Verse 1]
Your journey’s cracks still catch the light
Every wrong turn was yours to write
Let it unfold, don’t fight the tide—
Life’s not the map; it’s the miles inside

[Verse 2]
If you think the grass is greener in my shoes
Let me tell you what you’d lose—
Every scar I’ve earned, every cross I bear
You wouldn’t trade, so don’t go there

[Chorus]
Our lives are the sum of our choices
No rewinds, just voices
I won’t look back with regret
You shouldn’t either—
Not yet

[Break]

[Verse 3]
If your heart’s already packed and gone
If my name’s a shadow on your tongue
Don’t let me love you in the dark—
Just strike the match, leave a spark

[Bridge] 
Maybe in another life
We’d rewrite every line
But here and now, we choose—
Win or lose

[Final Chorus] 
Our lives are the sum of our choices
No rewinds, just voices
I won’t look back with regret
You shouldn’t either—
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet
Not yet

[End]
