The Road

"Just a good goodbye. The good bye I always wish I could say but never seems to come to me in the moment."

I'm not angry please don't say you're sorry any more
look at you, you're beautiful, there's nothing to be sorry for
think of all the trouble that's been living at the door
there's no shame in being tired of this war

there have been much worse mistakes than those the likes of us have made
I for one am tired of being guilty
now it seems the kindest thing to do is cut loose and let go of you
and learn to love the crooked hands that built me

if time and distance make us strangers
change our hearts and rearrange us
I'll look forward to the day my new eyes look upon your face
and recognize the smile of a friend
I hope the road is good to you til then

don't look back and don't you cry
lets not waste breath on our goodbyes
we took 'em with us every place we've been
all our lives we've lived inside this slow moving storm
you'd better go before the rain picks up again
