high road

When I was young, my mother showed me To become strong, you had to only Cover your fears, don't show you're lonely Put others first, before your own needs It's not all bad, but I get lonely And I get sad and I feel broken If there's no task, I just assume one I feel the burden, perform for no one And I walk the high road where nobody else has tread I break my back on the things other people say I'm getting tired always tryin' to do my best When I don't feel it, no, I don't feel it And now I'm older, I've learned some lessons To become stronger, you have to listen Keep it open, don't try to hide it And if you need love, don't try to fight it It's not all bad, but I get lonely And I get sad and I feel broken If there's no task, then I just assume one I feel the burden, perform for no one And I walk the high road where nobody else has tread I break my back on the things other people say I'm getting tired always tryin' to do my best When I don't feel it, no, I don't feel it Oh, oh It's just my ego and my pride I live my life in disguise And when I'm hurtin', it's incognito So everybody thinks I'm a hero And I walk the high road where nobody knows my name I'm getting tired of playin' these stupid games I do my best tryin' to keep the world afloat But I don't need this, no, I don't need this Oh, whoa, oh, oh Oh, whoa, oh, oh-oh Whoa, but I don't need this Yeah, I don't need this
