Courage for the Road

[Intro] One, two, three, four [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] I need a little courage for the road Courage for the road [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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
