lyrics

Road of Pain

I used to be such a fool,
You’d make me dance in the rain, rain
I tried hard to please you,
You’d drive me down that road of pain, pain

That old farm house was our fort,
Transformation and tiny wars,
There’s been so much lost in between
My face is a painful memory.

Seasons change, fair false friends fly,
You wasted so much on a little lie,
It ain’t no good to say “you’re not taking sides,”
You just did, don’t you realize?

Driving down that road of pain,
Should seem easy just to turn around again,
Yet, we’ve lost control, them brakes are blown,
Gripping the wheel as we veer toward the edge.

I used to be such a fool,
You’d make me dance in the rain, rain
I tried hard to please you,
You’d drive me down that road
You’d drive me down that road,
You’d drive me down that road of pain,
