You chose to go on the road alone Dissapeared into the darkness Isolated yourself Refused to listen You think running as fast as you can Is the best you can do You think a passenger Will only slow you down Are things the wrong way around In your own world Your own perspective You keep stubornly staring at But even moving at the speed of light You can't run away from the truth The lies and you've been leaving in your tracks Will catch up to you I welcomed you into my heart Tried to make it a home For your restless soul But you only passed through When you were tired My arms tried to hold you Tried to comfort you Through the dark nights Tried to make a warm fire But you kept opening the door Letting the cold wind and rain in Until even the embers died out I never wanted to let you go But you didn't give me anything to hold onto

Let you go
You chose to go on the road alone Dissapeared into the darkness Isolated yourself Refused to listen You think running as fast as you can Is the best you can do You think a passenger Will only slow you down Are things the wrong way around In your own world Your own perspective You keep stubornly staring at But even moving at the speed of light You can't run away from the truth The lies and you've been leaving in your tracks Will catch up to you I welcomed you into my heart Tried to make it a home For your restless soul But you only passed through When you were tired My arms tried to hold you Tried to comfort you Through the dark nights Tried to make a warm fire But you kept opening the door Letting the cold wind and rain in Until even the embers died out I never wanted to let you go But you didn't give me anything to hold onto
