Down that road

I've been down that road.
Holdin' my ground and it kills me,
'Cause you're so cool to be around,
When you're around,
But I think you've lost you.
And I think of other lovers lost,
And the soul wrenching cost,
And I'd rather have you - in my life - yeah.
Feeling down,
But empowered just the same,
High on the pain - that I'm saying no to.
Don't wanna be another lesson learned,
Another stripe you've earned,
So goodbye.

Sometimes the light just fades,
Yeah the ball of yarn that just runs out,
And you hold on for dear life,
Coming from a place of doubt.
Sometimes the light just fades,
Yeah the ball of yarn just runs out,
And you hold on for dear life,
Coming from a place of doubt.

Well I've been down that road once or twice,
Once or twice before,
I ain't goin' there again.
You can't take me there,
I won't follow you,
I will walk away,
While I still can call you a friend.

Led me down the garden path,
Then who's left with the aftermath?
And it doesn't add up,
It's a mixed equation.
Was in for the long haul,
Yeah you were my all-in-all,
Guess I was your recreation.
Sometimes you swim and swim,
Expecting - to see something more.
And your whole soul gives out,
Before you reach the shore.
Sometimes you swim,
And you see nothing more,
And your whole soul gives out,
Before you reach the shore.

Well,
I've been down that road - once or twice before,
Once or twice before,
I ain't goin' down again.
You can't - take me there,
I won't follow you,
I won't follow you,
To some bitter bitter end.

Woah,
Woah.

Soothing music plays,
Used to think of our somedays,
When there was a someday,
But it came too soon.
Soothing music plays,
Used to think of our somedays,
When there was a someday,
But it came too soon,
Just as well...

'Cause I've been down that road - once or twice before,
Once or twice before,
I ain't goin' down again.
You can't take me there,
I won't follow you,
I won't follow you,
Oh no.
