The High Road

I won't be a victim, a beggar, a fool And I try to live by the golden rule If you don't love me What am I gonna do? I'll just take the high road and walk away from you I'll find an angel To lift me up in time I'll listen for the voice that speaks my bitter mind I'll try to forgive myself For not heeding the signs I'll take the high road And walk away one last time I'll wipe away the tears And take credit for trying I'll look inside myself For the part that was mine I won't try to hurt ya back Or say I never cared I'll just take the high road And walk away from here My heart is battered, my soul is bruised My face is wearing that smile I used I put my anger under lock and key And I'll take the high road And walk on away quietly I'll pack up my pride and go somewhere far I guess you can't blame someone for who they are But you know that what you've done, it ain't fair I'm not gonna fight about something that just ain't there I'll walk away with my head held high Forgive and forget, no baby, not this time I'll just look for the angel And I'll be fine I'll take the high road And walk away one last time
