lyrics

Once in a dream I thought I could be anyone I wanted
Hard to believe but it felt real to me until the morning
When I’m awake I still can’t shake the taste of freedom

I can’t stop, I can’t break, I carry the weight for you

It’s the loneliest road, road
I know, I know, I know
The loneliest road, road
I know, I know, I know

Once in a dream I thought I could keep you safe forever
You held onto me, a beautiful scene I still remember
When I’m awake, I hide all our chains so you aren’t afraid

I can’t stop, I can’t break, I carry the weight for you

It’s the loneliest road, road
I know, I know, I know
The loneliest road, road
I know, I know, I know

I can’t stop, I can’t break, I carry the weight for you

It’s the loneliest road, road
I know, I know, I know
The loneliest road, road
I know, I know, I know
