This world is so frightening,
Such thunder, such lightning.
What I’m seeing, I’m not believing,
All these things keep me dreaming.

The rain comes so suddenly,
Washing away old memories.
And time has taken its toll,
Done its work, taken control.

My journey ends before it begins,
Searching for comfort around each bend.
I think I know, but I could be wrong,
Still chasing the place where I belong.

I want someone to remember my name.
I want someone to be glad I came.
I want someone to think of me sometimes.
I want someone to share these good times.

I want someone to help me through.
I want someone to lean on me too.
I want to find my way back home.
I want to belong to someone.

This road, so long and winding,
It holds the joy and tears I’m hiding.
And I know how you’re feeling,
What you hide, what you’re revealing.

I see the weight you’re bearing,
The hopes and fears you’re wearing.
Though words are few, it might be true,
You just want to belong too.

My journey ends before it begins,
Searching for comfort around each bend.
I think I know, but I could be wrong,
Still chasing the place where I belong.

I want someone to remember my name.
I want someone to be glad I came.
I want someone to think of me sometimes.
I want someone to share these good times.

I want someone to help me through.
I want someone to lean on me too.
I want to find my way back home.
I want to belong to someone.

I open my eyes,
Open them wide,
Swing open the door,
Step outside.

New grass growing,
Beneath my feet,
Dancing softly,
In the warm breeze.

The morning sun glows,
Pouring through the trees,
Lighting up the drops of dew,
Bouncing off the leaves.

I’m so happy today,
Spring came my way.
Traded working shoes,
For skies of blue.

Winter has gone,
Summer is coming on,
And I feel the day was made,
All just for me.

The flowers so bold,
With colours so bright,
Such a vibrant pallet,
Caught in the soft light.

The birds up above,
Singing away,
Flying around,
Making my day.

I’ll stay for a bit,
Lay back unfurled,
Basking in the springtime,
Not a care in the world.

I’m so happy today,
Spring came my way.
Traded working shoes,
For skies of blue.

Winter has gone,
Summer is coming on,
And I feel the day was made,
All just for me.

I’m so happy today,
Spring came my way.
Traded working shoes,
For skies of blue.

Winter has gone,
Summer is coming on,
And I feel the day was made,
All just for me.

We took the back roads,
As the day was fading,
Not knowing where we’re going,
It didn’t matter anyway.

The daylight battles bravely,
But it flickers then fades,
Spilling into each crevice,
Then slips silently away.

The headlights keeping watch,
Tell their stories to the night,
Cutting tunnels through the darkness,
As we drive this road tonight.

Silhouettes in the distance,
Spring to life as they draw near,
Dancing once just for us,
Before they disappear.

This is to be our last road,
You’re leaving me tonight,
But I’m not ready for goodbye,
Please stay just one more night.

Our soundtrack is playing,
You’re wrapped up safe and warm,
I look for one last perfect smile,
As your favourite song comes on.

One hand on the wheel,
The other clinging onto you,
But I can feel you leaving me,
And there’s nothing I can do.

I try to hold you tighter,
But you start to drift away,
We are all out of forevers,
But there’s still much more to say.

Welling eyes blur the white lines,
I’m lost, I’m cold, I’m numb,
The guideposts lost in the haze,
And our journey is almost done.

Seconds stretched to hours,
As I relive this life,
Perfectly edited stories,
For my beautiful wife.

Thank you for your last moments,
Thank you for these memories,
Our time cut short,
But it was everything to me.

We’ve said our last goodbye,
You’ve gone and I have too,
I can finally close my eyes,
One last dream of you.

We’ve said our last goodbye,
You’ve gone and I have too,
I can finally close my eyes,
One last dream of you.

Last dream of you.

I’m standing right in front of you, but you don’t see me.
I try to tell you how I feel, but you’re not listening.
I’m pouring out my heart, but you just don’t seem to care.
I reach out desperately, but you’re no longer here.

People look right through me, they don’t even know my name.
But that’s okay I don’t need them, they can’t save me anyway.
The road that I am walking, is only wide enough for one.
But I’m not lonely, I’m just fine on my own.

I’m turning off all these lights, ’cause I don’t need them.
No longer afraid of the dark, I’ve got my lantern.
I hear the war machines, they’re getting louder.
I can feel the rumbling, and it’s all around now.

People look right through me, they don’t even know my name.
But that’s okay I don’t need them, they can’t save me anyway.
The road that I am walking, is only wide enough for one.
But I’m not lonely, I’m just fine on my own.

You don’t see what I see but that doesn’t make me wrong.
Even though on different paths we hum the same song.
Take your lonely little world and make it bigger.
Take aim at what you want and pull the trigger.

People look right through me, they don’t even know my name.
But that’s okay I don’t need them, they can’t save me anyway.
The road that I am walking, is only wide enough for one.
But I’m not lonely, I’m just fine on my own.

I watch the fading light drain from the tired sky,
I wait patiently, as another empty day slips by.
The night shines like a black-and-white movie,
Stars flicker on the screen, just not for me.

People look right through me, they don’t even know my name.
But that’s okay I don’t need them, they can’t save me anyway.
The road that I am walking, is only wide enough for one.
But I’m not lonely, I’m just fine on my own.

I never knew that I could feel so lonely,
I never thought I’d end up here alone.
But now I sit here in this empty room,
Wondering how I didn’t know.

The silence screams so loud it shakes the walls,
The fading light still dances on the floor.
I keep the lamp on for you by the door,
Your voice still echos down the hall.

If I could believe I earned this pain somehow,
If I could believe I’m fine here by myself.
If I could believe there’s nothing left to save,
If I could believe you’re not coming home again.

The clock still ticks like it’s expecting something,
The chair still rocks like you’re in it again.
Your scent lingers softly in every room,
And it whispers your name.

The silence screams so loud it shakes the walls,
The fading light still dances on the floor.
I keep the lamp on for you by the door,
Your voice still echos down the hall.

If I could believe I earned this pain somehow,
If I could believe I’m fine here by myself.
If I could believe there’s nothing left to save,
If I could believe you’re not coming home again.

The door creaks like it remembers you,
It knows the rhythm of your walking shoes.
I kept the stained mug you liked best,
It’s the only piece of you I have left.

The silence screams so loud it shakes the walls,
The fading light still dances on the floor.
I keep the lamp on for you by the door,
Your voice still echos down the hall.

If I could believe that you had to go away,
If I could believe you just couldn’t stay.
If I could believe the pain I feel each day,
If I could believe these memories will fade.

If I could believe this is how we end,
If I could believe I lost my best friend.
If I could believe this broken heart will mend,
If I could believe you’re not coming home again.

You see me,
Trying to breathe,
How could it be?
So long I’ve felt this way.
My eyes ache,
Dark and empty,
How could it be?
So long I’ve felt this way,

And I can’t see any way forward.
I only know what came before me.
When it begins, anticipation,
But then it ends so unexpectedly.

Once safe and strong burning brightly,
And then it’s gone, left me on the floor.
The night’s on its way, so cold and lonely,
I wait patiently, it’s coming for me.

You see me,
Trying to breathe,
How could it be?
So long I’ve felt this way.
My eyes ache,
Dark and empty,
How could it be?
So long I’ve felt this way.

It’s too dark to see, I can’t move forward,
Controlling me, so I’ll stay here on my own.
Nowhere to go, silently waiting,
But I know, there’s nothing here for me.

I sleep to dream of a new day dawning,
To find the strength to start over again.
The light streams in so I draw the curtains,
But it still gets in, burning my skin.

You see me,
Trying to breathe,
How could it be?
So long I’ve felt this way.
My eyes ache,
Dark and empty,
How could it be?
So long I’ve felt this way.

Here I am,
Lost and longing,
How could this be?
So long I’ve felt this way.
Here I stand,
Lost and lonely,
How could this be?
So long I’ve felt this way.

Hey now, something’s gotta give,
And it won’t be long.
Hey now, we’ve been down this road before,
And we can’t go on.

Hey now, you were always a drifter,
Never stayed too long.
Hey now, I waited while you wandered,
But maybe that was wrong.

Hey now, never knew where you were going,
Never knew where you’d been.
Hey now, we came this far together,
But all journeys must end.

Hey now, you packed your bags in silence,
Didn’t say a word.
Hey now, I watched your taillights fading,
Pretending I wasn’t hurt.

Hey now, this tired city’s getting darker,
The lights are going out.
Hey now, one more room that’s empty,
Another broken promise in this town.

Hey now, these empty streets are haunted,
Passing cafés and closing bars.
Hey now, your laughter’s in the lamplight,
But your shadow’s fading fast.

Hey now, I can still hear you whisper,
Through this pouring rain.
Hey now, even though you’re long gone,
These memories still remain.

Hey now, the porch light’s still burning,
In case you lose your way.
Hey now, maybe in some other life,
You might have stayed.

Hey now, I’m moving through the seasons,
I’ve found some solid ground.
Hey now, I’m still bruised and broken,
But I’m stronger now somehow.

Hey now, gonna keep moving forward,
I’m on my way back home.
Hey now, the journey’s a little colder,
But at least it’s a road I own.

Hey now, there’s solace in the silence,
Even with this heartache.
Hey now, But I’ve learned the lonely road,
Can be the right one to take.

Hey now, there’s solace in the silence,
And these scars may never fade.
Hey now, I’ve learned some painful lessons,
But I would do it all again.

Hey now, there’s solace in the silence,
And these scars may never fade.
Hey now, I’ve learned some painful lessons,
But I would do it all again.

Stood silent on a lonely road,
Defeated, feeling low,
Can’t see, it’s too dark tonight,
Worn down, too tired to fight.

The journey’s hard the journey’s long,
Just got to keep moving on,
No idea where I’m meant to be,
No idea where I’m going.

But I’m looking up,
Not giving up,
I’m getting up,
Even though it’s tough,
The road is rough,
But I’m strong enough,
Holding my head up,
I’m not backing up.
And I don’t mind at all,
How many times I fall,
And I don’t mind at all.

Burrowed deep under my skin,
Found a vein, crawled right in,
No one noticed this withered heart,
They were too damn busy being too damn smart.

Trapped in a prison of sinew and bone,
Locked up inside all alone,
Too proud to say I was wrong,
Too stubborn to change the path I’m on.

But I’m looking up,
Not giving up,
I’m getting up,
Even though it’s tough,
The road is rough,
But I’m strong enough,
Holding my head up,
I’m not backing up.
And I don’t mind at all,
How many times I fall,
And I don’t mind at all.

This pain in my heart just a thought in my head,
But it’s so damn hungry and it needs to be fed,
Don’t know this place, don’t know this face,
I’m just a crazy rat in this crazy rat race.

Dying slowly day by day,
What a shame I hear them say,
But it’s always been this way.
Today we spend, tomorrow we’ll pay.

But I’m looking up,
Not giving up,
I’m getting up,
Even though it’s tough,
The road is rough,
But I’m strong enough,
Holding my head up,
I’m not backing up.
And I don’t mind at all,
How many times I fall,
And I don’t mind at all.

Serve the mirror or serve the machine,
Drowning in dreams of what could’ve been,
Poisoned by my wants and needs,
Burn the crops, grow the weeds.

Can’t see, can’t hear, can’t speak,
So frustrated, tired and weak,
Obey the signs, obey the laws,
We’ve tried this once, it didn’t work before.

But I’m looking up,
Not giving up,
I’m getting up,
Even though it’s tough,
The road is rough,
But I’m strong enough,
Holding my head up,
I’m not backing up.
And I don’t mind at all,
How many times I fall,
And I don’t mind at all.

Took my hands, off the wheel,
Just to see, how it feels,
It was quite a thrill,
And I feel alright.

This road, I chose,
Not sure where it goes.
And the map, I follow,
Thrown out the window.

The white lines all look the same,
But they seem to ease the pain,
And I know I’m to blame,
But I can’t change.

Left turn, kept right,
Left the past, drove on by,
And I’ll drive through the night,
Drive all night.

I see towns, rush by,
Out the corner, of my eye,
I don’t stop or even try,
And I wonder why.

The white lines all look the same,
But they seem to ease the pain,
And I know I’m to blame,
But I can’t change.

The white lines all look the same,
But they seem to ease the pain,
And I know I’m to blame,
But I can’t change.

Headlights blind me,
It’s so hard to see,
But I have to keep moving,
And it will save me.

Mirrors gaze, back in time,
At everything, I left behind,
Tail light, blurred signs,
And this broken heart of mine.

The white lines all look the same,
But they seem to ease the pain,
And I know I’m to blame,
But I can’t change.

The white lines all look the same,
But they seem to ease the pain,
And I know I’m to blame,
But I can’t change.

I can hear voices ringing,
Far off in the distance,
I can hear the singing,
Calling me away.

But I can’t see,
I’m blindly reaching,
And I have no idea,
What’s waiting for me.

The waking sun,
Burns so brightly,
But then it’s gone,
It’s darker than before.

These careful footsteps,
Lost on the highway,
Every road before me,
Leads me further from home.

So desperate and tired,
I stumble and fall,
Wandering through days,
That meant nothing at all.

And I can’t know,
What I think at this moment,
Each new day,
Is a new life for me.

Time rushes by,
It’s relentless and it’s certain,
It steals all the things,
The things I believe.

Time rushes by,
With pain and with purpose,
Washing off the blood,
But leaving the stains.

Time rushes by,
We forget all our sorrow,
But keep all the scars,
And tomorrow make more.

Time rushes by,
Like sand through my fingers,
Like shadows slowly stalking,
And they won’t let me be.

So desperate and tired,
I stumble and fall,
Wandering through days,
That meant nothing at all.

And I can’t know,
What I think at this moment,
Each new day,
Is a new life for me.

So desperate and tired,
I stumble and fall,
Wandering through days,
That meant nothing at all.

And I can’t know,
What I think at this moment,
Each new day,
Is a new life for me.

I have never been that clever,
Never been that strong,
Never been much of a planner,
I made it up as I went along.

I’ve never been much of a sinner,
Never been much of a saint,
There’s a lot of things that I am,
There’s some things that I ain’t.

I got a lousy sense of direction,
I never know where I am,
I never know where I’m heading,
But I’m doing the best I can.

I took a chance, I don’t do that much,
I got to see you again,
Pushed my pride deep in my pocket,
And let you under my skin.

And I felt the new day waking,
I felt the grass under my feet,
I felt the cool breeze on my face,
And I can’t get back to sleep.
I felt this fire raging,
I felt this beating heart,
I felt you deep in my veins,
And then we fell apart.

Laying in bed, it’s 3am,
Just staring at the wall,
Not really awake, not really asleep,
Not really anything at all.

You’re the face I see when I turn out the light,
The calming voice when I’m alone,
The first thing that I think of,
The place that I call home.

When daylight fades mistakes made,
Rattle around in my head,
It’s not a tragedy, what’s meant to be,
But I’m sorry for what I said.

The minutes come but quickly go,
What’s left is a distant memory,
But I’m grateful for the time we had,
And I guess that’s enough for me.

And I felt the new day waking,
I felt the grass under my feet,
I felt the cool breeze on my face,
And I can’t get back to sleep.
I felt this fire raging,
I felt this beating heart,
I felt you deep in my veins,
And then we fell apart.

I have never been that clever,
I have never been that strong,
Never been much of a planner,
That might be where I went wrong.

These flowers I picked for you, so bright, so beautiful,
But I’ve kept them for far too long.
Though their colours fade, I love them just the same,
And I can’t bear to throw them away.

These worn photos of you and the stories I cling to,
Echoes of much better days we knew.
These memories wane I know but I don’t have to let them go,
Even though they cut so deep sometimes.
 
And I can’t find the words to tell you,
What you mean to me right now,
And I’m so scared of never feeling,
The way I did when you were still around.
But I keep praying for a miracle,
And I keep hoping for something more,
And I never knew I was lonely,
But I’m even more lonely than I was before. 

I walk these city streets the places we used to meet,
But without you there is not much I recognise.
I miss the way we talked, the endless nights, the morning walks,
And always knowing you were just a call away.

And I loved all the things we did the places we went, the things we said,
And laughing out so loud that the whole street heard. 
If I could do it all again, I wouldn’t change a single thing,
I’m so grateful for every moment we shared.

And I can’t find the words to tell you,
What you mean to me right now,
And I’m so scared of never feeling,
The way I did when you were still around.
But I keep praying for a miracle,
And I keep hoping for something more,
And I never knew I was lonely,
But I’m even more lonely than I was before. 

I guess all things must end, even though I still pretend,
A hundred messages but no reply.
When you’ve got nothing left to lose and you’re just trying to make it through,
You do what you do just to get by.

But life keeps marching on, each fleeting moment so quickly gone.
And although I try I keep falling further behind.
Seasons change, rivers flow,
 the moon still rises, the sun still glows.
Although I lost the fight I still can’t seem to let go.

And I can’t find the words to tell you,
What you mean to me right now,
And I’m so scared of never feeling,
The way I did when you were still around.
But I keep praying for a miracle,
And I keep hoping for something more,
And I never knew I was lonely,
But I’m even more lonely than I was before.

The daylight,
Has faded,
The night has come,
I’m praying,
and I’m waiting,
‘Till it has gone.

The darkness,
All ‘round me,
Keeps me at home,
I’m staying,
I’m laying,
Here all alone.

You take a step, and another,
You take a breath, why even bother?
Close your eyes, tell your lies,
And start all over again.

You take a step, and another,
You take a breath, why even bother,
Close your eyes, tell your lies,
Just to start all over again.

This bruising,
So confusing,
I don’t feel quite right.
It’s crazy,
What I say,
Just to get through each night.

Do you ever,
Ever wonder,
Why I do what I do?
If you never,
Even better,
I won’t have to lie to you.

You take a step, and another,
You take a breath, why even bother?
Close your eyes, tell your lies,
And start all over again.

You take a step, and another,
You take a breath, why even bother,
Close your eyes, tell your lies,
Just to start all over again.

I’m forever,
Running circles,
On this hamster wheel.
So tired,
So wired,
Can’t tell how I feel.

This life,
Don’t owe me,
But I’m doing ok.
These people,
Don’t own me,
No matter what they say.

You take a step, and another,
You take a breath, why even bother?
Close your eyes, tell your lies,
And start all over again.

You take a step, and another,
You take a breath, why even bother,
Close your eyes, tell your lies,
Just to start all over again.

The day drips away, such wasted time,
Mourning moments that weren’t even mine.
Memories blur and they turn to grey,
They lose their shape and fade away.

You’re out of sight and out of mind,
I’ve left the past somewhere behind.
I have no idea what it is I feel,
I don’t know, if I ever will.

One day soon, I’ll find a reason to stay.
One day soon, I’ll find my own way.
One day soon, I’ll know where I stand.
One day soon, I’ll know who I am.

What if this is as good as it gets?
What if I never find the fix?
What if this is the best I can do?
What if I can never tell you the truth?

I wear failure like a second skin,
But nothing drowns the ache within.
Dizzy and sick as the planet spins,
I repeat the same mistakes again and again.

One day soon, I’ll find a reason to stay.
One day soon, I’ll find my own way.
One day soon, I’ll know where I stand.
One day soon, I’ll know who I am.

I just want to be like everyone else,
Get by without hating myself.
Step into the spotlight, out of the rain,
I just want to start all over again.

I am a faker, I do it well.
Close to my chest, no one can tell.
I tell myself these lies are true,
And there’s nothing more that I can do.

Where do you go when there’s nowhere to go?
What do you show when there’s nothing to show?
Where do you go when there’s nowhere to go?
What do you show when there’s nothing to show?
Where do you go when there’s nowhere to go?

One day soon, I’ll find a reason to stay.
One day soon, I’ll find my own way.
One day soon, I’ll know where I stand.
One day soon, I’ll know who I am.

What if I can’t stop living this lie?
What if I never figure out why?
If I opened my eyes, would I see,
Who I am, or who I’m meant to be?

This life is just a trick of the light.
I hold on tight but it’s passing me by.
I don’t know if any of this is real.
And I’m not sure if I ever will.

I came back one dark grey December,
Returned to the place I once called home.
I searched for something I’d remember,
But it wasn’t the place I’d known.

I walked through the once-manicured gardens,
Once seas of bloom and buzzing bees,
Tugging gently at old memories,
They meant the world to me.

And I know that things must change,
I know they can’t stay the same.
As one day fades, a new one wakes,
We say goodbye to the worlds we make.

No light shining down the driveway,
No creak of the old front gate.
No pumpkin soup on the table waiting,
No crackling fire in the fireplace.

No dogs running out to greet me,
No sheep wandering all around,
No cows calling up from the valley,
No frogs in the tank croaking now.

The rusty henhouse stands deserted,
Grain lies spoilt on the ground.
Wild birds gather on the empty feeders,
Searching hopelessly, looking all around.

The plants are tired and softly wilting,
The grass once green is dusty brown.
Unwelcome weeds creep through forgotten gardens,
Faded flowers fall to the ground.

And I know that things must change,
I know they can’t stay the same.
As one day fades, a new one wakes,
We say goodbye to the worlds we make.

No laughter echoes down the hallway,
No breakfast sizzling on the stove.
No bread on the benchtop cooling,
No more of the homemade jam we loved.

No Christmas lights blinking brightly,
No more family photos on the walls,
No sewing machine humming away,
No fresh-baked biscuits anymore.

When I look back on days dearly treasured,
The missing moments bring the pain.
I’ll never again take a second for granted,
How fast things change and change again.

And I know I can no longer see you,
But it still feels like you are near.
You once said, “We are so lucky,
It’s a wonderful, wonderful world.”

Hold the things you love , they’re fleeting.
Once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.
Hold the things you love so tightly,
You’d bring them back, you know you would.

They want to be the emperor,
They’re wearing his clothes,
Looking like a million dollars,
From their head down to their toes,
Strutting down the road,
Wherever it goes,
These rice paper people,
Looking so fine,
In the emperor’s new clothes.

They turn all the lights on,
They turn up the sound,
They need to be seen,
They need to be loud.
The more noise they make,
The more gather around,
And we drink their dirty water,
And eat their scraps off the ground.

They made to be princes,
They were made to be kings,
They make lots of noise,
But don’t say anything.
Throwing love to the loveless,
But none of it is real,
Only caring who’s watching,
And how good it feels.

They want to be the emperor,
They’re wearing his clothes,
Looking like a million dollars,
From their head down to their toes,
Strutting down the road,
Wherever it goes,
These rice paper people,
Looking so fine,
In the emperor’s new clothes.

So they do what they do,
There isn’t much that they won’t,
They do it for the likes,
They do it for the votes.
And we follow blindly,
We eat up lies and all,
We inject it in our veins,
And keep coming back for more.

Who cares if they’re phonies,
Who cares if they’re fakes?
More food for the villains,
Just saying what they say.
And they’re getting rich,
Golden idols all around,
Hearts and souls broken,
Scattered on the ground.

They want to be the emperor,
They’re wearing his clothes,
Looking like a million dollars,
From their head down to their toes,
Strutting down the road,
Wherever it goes,
These rice paper people,
Looking so fine,
In the emperor’s new clothes.

But the lights still shine on,
The noise, still it rings,
So many stupid people,
Doing so many stupid things.
I can’t understand it,
Is this the best we can be?
So vane, so insane,
So completely crazy.

But none of us notice,
Or none of us care,
We drink the poisoned water,
We inhale the polluted air.
Is it just a delusion,
Or could it all be real?
We’ve become so dumb, so very numb,
And we’re told how we should feel.

They want to be the emperor,
They’re wearing his clothes,
Looking like a million dollars,
From their head down to their toes,
Strutting down the road,
Wherever it goes,
These rice paper people,
Looking so fine,
In the emperor’s new clothes.

Maybe I can take these moments and make them longer.
Maybe I can take these walls and make them stronger
Maybe I can take this load and make it lighter.
Maybe I can take this day and make it brighter.

I spend these nights missing my friend,
And with each waking day, I miss them again.
But this is my cup, I won’t give it up.
I did what I could, but it wasn’t enough.

Hiding in bed, beneath the covers,
Trapped by the weight of the words of others.
These sheets are tangled ’round my feet,
I try to move, but can’t break free.

I’ve made mistakes without even knowing.
I’ve felt the storm winds blowing.
I’ve watched the floodwaters growing.
But I didn’t know you were going.

Maybe I can take this sound and make it louder.
Maybe I can take this flame and put it out now.
Maybe I can take these bad days and throw them away.
Maybe I can take these memories and keep them safe.

And with each waking day, I miss them again.
But this is my cup, I won’t give it up.
I did what I could, but it wasn’t enough.

This road is killing me,
So tired I can’t see,
A weight on top of me,
So heavy I can’t breathe.

But I can’t stay, and I can’t leave,
What ever happened to you and me?
I Reach out my hand, wondering,
‘Cause I don’t know.

At war again tonight,
Who is wrong, who is right?
Too tired to fight this fight,
Close my eyes, turn off the light.

But I can’t stay, and I can’t leave,
What ever happened to you and me?
I Reach out my hand, trembling,
‘Cause I don’t know.

These shoes old and worn,
This heart ripped and torn,
This will almost gone,
This road, so hard and long.

But I can’t stay, and I can’t leave,
What ever happened to you and me?
I Reach out my hand, hurting,
‘Cause I don’t know.

But I have to say,
I want to stay,
But I just can’t
Go on this way.
And everyday,
We forget what we say,
We walk away,
And pretend we’re ok.

Grab my things, got to move on,
Find a place I belong,
Thought we’re fine, I was wrong.
I tried so hard, but now I’m done.

But I can’t stay, I have to leave,
What once we had, long left me,
Take that first step, stumbling,
‘Cause I don’t know.

Open road in front of me,
As far as I can see,
Afraid of what might be,
All alone, but I am free.

But I couldn’t stay, I had to leave,
What once we had, a distant memory,
Another step, I’ll keep moving,
And I don’t know.

But I couldn’t stay, I had to leave,
What once we had, a distant memory,
Another step, I’ll keep moving,
And I don’t know.
