High Road

There's a weight, a kind of burden
That always follows me around
That's the thing they never tell you
To keep your dignity means closure's never found
Of all the words I could've written
Pages full of ammunition
Still I chose to hold my tongue instead

I took the high road
So why is it that I still feel so low?

You go on, none the wiser
Making all your same mistakes again
And I feel an obligation
To stop the things I know I can't prevent
I may have spared your reputation
By avoiding confrontation
There's a thank you that I know I'll never get

I took the high road
So why is it that I still feel so low?
I took the high road
So why is it that I still feel so low?

I could sing, I could sing
But every day I choose to hold it in
I could sing, I could sing
But every day I choose to hold it in
I could sing, I could sing
But each and every day I make the choice
To hold it in

I took the high road
So why is it that I still feel so low?
I took the high road
So why is it that I still feel so low?
I took the high road
So why is it that I still feel so low?
I feel so low
