Courage For the Road

One, two, three, four It's proving hard to let go I didn't think it'd be different, you know But I want all that's left Before you take a breath A little bit of courage for the road Being tied to you I guess it gives me something to get through But then when you're empty There's nothing left for me It's the same ending we return to But this way we go leads nowhere This time's different, that's what you always swear Without you around maybe I can change If my mind felt clear, maybe I'd be saved Or empty and missed, unloved and unkissed I need a little courage for the road How can I know what to feel? You leave to ignoring what is real It's such a subtle difference between the fool and fearless Trade again and left it here But this way we go leads nowhere This time's different, that's what you always swear Without you around maybe I can change If my mind felt clear, maybe I'd be saved Or empty and missed, unloved and unkissed I need a little courage for the road I need a little courage for the road Courage for the road The moment lies like it cares It leaves me faulted and under-prepared To deal with what comes next, the shame and emptiness Knowing better but choosing to fail But this way we go leads nowhere This time's different, that's what you always swear All these faults, these mistakes are mine to bear Without you around maybe I can change And if my mind felt clear, maybe I'd be saved Or empty and missed, unloved and unkissed Too broken from this and unable to dismiss I need a little courage for the road Courage for the road
