Tried & Tested

Anywhere that I go
There's room for you too
Lots of people put value and things
That are new
I like tried and tested and true
If I find myself at the end of the road
With you
I won't be so blue

I sit alone at three AM
Taking inventory of myself again
I miss you, my friend
See I know how to expose
My soul to a million people
I don't know
When it comes to getting close
I'm a maze closed off
I build my walls tall
Isolate myself from you all
Except for you
One or two
that are true
You probably have no clue

Anywhere that I go
There's room for you to
Lots of people put value on
Things that are new
I like tried and tested and true
If I find myself at the end of the road with you
I won't be so blue

Break them chains
People put them labels on
And I don't owe a damn
Thing to explain
Clarity is staring back at me
Something I can't explain
But I can pin point my pain
People say they change
Mostly they just stay the same
Hardened to go far
Somehow I lost a few
Friends along the way
Call age
Or the turning of life's page
One thing I hate is to grow close
Just to walk away
Should we just start friendships and
Countdown the days?
I don't wanna watch you fade
Away
I won't let you fade

Anywhere that I go
There's room for you too
Lots of people put value on
things that are new
I like tried and tested and true
If I find myself at the end of the road with you
I won't be so blue

I Question peoples values
As I see their peaks and valleys
Gas lights burn bright tonight
People make you feel crazy
When they're acting shady
Be a dignified man or lady
Got to get out of my own head
Maybe I should go to bed
I'll just write a song instead
You help me break the cycle
When you talk about the places
We might go

Anywhere that I go
There's room for you to
Lots of people put value and things
That are new
I like tried and tested and true
If I find myself at the end of the road with you
I won't be so blue
