high road

When I was young, my mother showed me
To become strong, you had to only
Cover your fears, don't show you're lonely
Put others first, before your own needs

It's not all bad, but I get lonely
And I get sad and I feel broken
If there's no task, I just assume one
I feel the burden, perform for no one

And I walk the high road where nobody else has tread
I break my back on the things other people say
I'm getting tired always tryin' to do my best
When I don't feel it, no, I don't feel it

And now I'm older, I've learned some lessons
To become stronger, you have to listen
Keep it open, don't try to hide it
And if you need love, don't try to fight it

It's not all bad, but I get lonely
And I get sad and I feel broken
If there's no task, then I just assume one
I feel the burden, perform for no one

And I walk the high road where nobody else has tread
I break my back on the things other people say
I'm getting tired always tryin' to do my best
When I don't feel it, no, I don't feel it

Oh, oh
It's just my ego and my pride
I live my life in disguise
And when I'm hurtin', it's incognito
So everybody thinks I'm a hero

And I walk the high road where nobody knows my name
I'm getting tired of playin' these stupid games
I do my best tryin' to keep the world afloat
But I don't need this, no, I don't need this

Oh, whoa, oh, oh
Oh, whoa, oh, oh-oh
Whoa, but I don't need this
Yeah, I don't need this
