lyrics

Sometimes you have to walk the hard road
For a while
Before you stop to realize
It’s been a while
Since you’ve seen someone you know
Or a sign which says which way to go.
So you just fall down exhausted from it all, and you cry a held up cry— admitting what you’ve known all along.

I am who I am, and I may not be
Who you want me to be.
But I cannot be who I’m meant to be
If you are the one I’m trying to please.

Sometimes you have to walk the hard road;
that’s just life.
But won’t you stop to realize loneliness is a lie. You’ve heard it so frequently
Now it’s all your heart can see,
And each step’s a chore—
Each one harder than the one before.
And you know life’s got so much more
So you finally shut the unhealthy door.
