Roads

It started with a stroke of your hair
But now I'm stuck just standing here
Both of us know that nothing is the same
But we're still here

It came to pass that over time
The feeling's gone and we don't know why
And so we hope that time will make a change
But we're still the same

I gotta go back down that same old road that brought me here
Back through those painful memories and fears

I once believed we'd make it to the end
But now I feel my world is caving in
Holding close to these cuffs that I can see
Have been holding me down

I felt it best to hide my fears
Afraid of what the truth could mean
Could I make it in this world on my own?
Where would I begin?

I gotta go back down that same old road that brought me here
Back through those painful memories and fears

But now I see the light is shining down on me
And now I know I've been fighting
For what's already gone

I gotta go back down that same old road that brought me here
Back through those painful memories and fears

Looking down from the hospital window
I see the lights stream through the dark
Millions of faces all plagued by the same guilt
And at the end of the day I am just one part
