The Lonesome Road

Along the road of life, you sometimes have to go it alone.

I sit reflecting, upon the ridge

I’ve burned every last bridge

And I don’t know why

I can’t help but cry

As clouds float by

Underneath the California sky

Looking down upon the valley below

My mind moving fast, body moving slow

 

I feel so far away

Can’t we go back to yesterday

Before the lands became divided

After the storm had subsided

Reminiscing to the day

When we first began to play

The saddest songs on the radio

Sitting in my car watching the snow

 

We had many miles to travel

Along the way you began to unravel

I was left not knowing what to say

As you tried to lead the way

In the end you only got us lost

All this came at a cost

As our relationship was tested

I was wrong to have invested

 

I gave you everything I had

But all I ever did was make you mad

As we came to our destination

On the sunlit horizon

A notion came to mind

About a revelation I was to find

That you were not the one for me

Together we would not spend eternity

 

At first I was afraid to drive this road alone

But in time I was shown

That this was indeed the right path for me

It pains me to know that you could never see

The light hidden deep within

That you would rather live in sin

You’ve made it hard for me to believe

For in love all you did was deceive
