The Roads

I got a message from a friend
Said: You've been quiet since the day you let her in
And we'd all love to know just where you went
'Cause, honey, you don't look the same
I barely recognize you with that look on your face
My God, those words are burned into my brain

You showed me I should stop and I ignored it
Oh, I swore to God you'd be important

There's blisters on my feet
I ran right through my shoes
These roads are changing me
But they all lead back to you
'Cause you're still in my skin
I've done all I can do
But I chose to let you in
Now the roads lead back to you

So when they ask me where I've been
I'll plug the drain and calmly say: I never left
And quietly wish we had never met
'Cause that slow pain don't like to wait
No, it comes quick and then it never fades away
And I lost part of me that day

You showed me I should stop and I ignored it
Oh, I swore to God you'd be important

There's blisters on my feet
I ran right through my shoes
These roads are changing me
But they all lead back to you
'Cause you're still in my skin
I've done all I can do
But I chose to let you in
Now the roads lead back to you
