Lyrics
I've always taken the road less traveled
Gets kind of lonely; feels so long
Without the sweet love I shared my soul with
This stretch of lost highway goes on and on
There must be a reason why I came this way
For the life of me I can't understand
How so many feelings could stay locked inside me
After so long, they ain't worth a damn
Well. It's pointless to ponder
Some meaningless question
It's fruitless to wonder where rainbows end
I guess in the long run
It's our own reflection
We're always so willing and ready to condemn
Day turns to darkness like a sleeping companion
That can't stay the watch and lets you down
I'd rest if my memories weren't holding me hostage
Knife at my throat, saying, don't make a sound
Thought I was clever, now I see I severed my heart from the rest of me
I've come face to face with my own shadow; he's smaller than he used to be
Well. It's pointless to ponder
Some meaningless question
It's pointless to wonder if I'll see her again
I guess in the long run
The best of intentions
Won't save, or be witness to my defense
It's pointless to wish for a second chance
