The Lonely Road of Misery

There is only one thing I see
And that is a road of misery
I've traveled this road for so long
And all I ever do is wrong
Oh why do I stay on this road
And keep carrying this heavy load
All I want is to be happy
And to feel complete
I want to be able to feel whole
And to resume that important role
I don't want to keep going down this road
This lonely road of misery
So I need to work on myself
To love me for me
For how can I love another
 When I can't even love myself
So road of misery I bid you farewell
The road of happiness is calling my name
I like the road of happiness
It makes me feel good
To be able to love myself
So road of misery I bid you ado
