Looked in the mirror and said listen
You've been living in delusion
Spent your days out on a mission
To bring existence to illusion
The heart of man is not a prison
You come and go just as you please
No need for contests of attrition
I've always given what you need
It's all a game until it's not love
You're holding off until the right love
Meanwhile these pieces of yourself
Are slowly breaking off to hell
I wanna save you but you'd tell me
You don't need savin' and get angry
Well have it your way I don't care
I've seen the sights and I've been there
And it's a lonely road
When you hurt the ones that love you the most
Yeah it's a lonely road
When you hurt the ones that love you the most
Put on my shoes and I went walkin'
No use in spending days in bed
It's far too late now for the talkin'
I just need time to clear my head
Freedom or loneliness you tell me
When there's no one to share your bed
No voice of reason to look up to
Just angry voices in your head
That tell you, you should never please me
Since my affection comes too easy
Despite those lovely things you said
You're just gon' break my heart instead
But it's a lonely road
When you hurt the ones that love you the most
Yeah it's a lonely road
When you hurt the ones that love you the most
