"Courage For The Road" lyrics

"Courage For The Road"

It's proven 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 thru
But then when you're empty
There's nothing left for me
And it's the same ending we return to

But this way we go leads nowhere
This time is different, that's what you always swear
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
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 is 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 a kiss
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 is 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
