My Way

My pride is just a blank white page 
I have nothing but unacquainted rage  
No one knows how much I have inside 
If you think you know me, I probley lied 

A kind face will win your delicate smile 
A considerate gesture will get us by another mile 
This road is one I have traveled for so damn long 
There is nowhere to stop because there is nowhere I belong 

I have seen beautiful people and places 
Wide mountains and forgettable faces 
Alone I travel with nothing to gain or lose 
I long to rest, to stop and sigh, but my heart will always refuse 

So another mile will pass and so will your love 
When I wake up alone, only dry eyes will I rub 
My sorrow can not slow this train down 
It just moves me faster from town to town 

Another lost love is another crack on my heart 
My body will keep moving until I fall apart 
Another day is just another game to play 
It does not matter if I win or lose 
When I die, I’ll know I did it my way
