lyrics

You turned my world
so I walked with my hands.
You laughed in my face as I told you my plans,
saying, "girl you can't even stand."

I raced and I raced to keep up with your stride
Now I'm veering left and I'm leaving this behind
Yes I've resigned

We're at the end of our road
and I will admit what we both know.
Who's to stay and who should go?
I know I'm leaving here alone.
The path I take will be high and narrow
so I am leaving you the load.

You held my hands tight as you pulled me from the light.
I hit the ground hard when you let me go
and you buried me in this hole.

But you forgot to account how the sun always comes out,
and with its rise in the east I would rise to my feet,
And I'd find a way to leave.

Goodbye cruel friend,
you did not think I could bend.
Were you surprised I found a way out?
Goodbye cruel friend,
you did not see this would end,
But love is not something I can live without

We're at the end of our road
and I will admit what we both know.
Who's to stay and who should go?
I know I'm leaving here alone.
The path I take will be high and narrow
so I am leaving you the load.
