|
I won't be a victim, a beggar, a fool |
|
I try to live my life by the golden rule |
|
If you don't love me |
|
What am I supposed to do |
|
I'll take the high road and walk on away from you |
|
I'll find me an angel |
|
To lift me up in time |
|
I'll listen for the voice |
|
Which speaks my bitter mind |
|
I'll try to forgive myself |
|
for not heeding all the signs |
|
Oh, I'll take the high road |
|
And walk away one last time |
|
I'll wipe away the tears |
|
'Cause I know darn well I've tried |
|
I'll look inside myself |
|
For the part that was mine |
|
I ain't gonna try to hurt ya back or lie and say I didn't care |
|
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 same false smile, I used to use |
|
I put my feelings under lock and key |
|
Oh, and take the high road |
|
And walk on away quietly |
|
I'll pack up my pride and go somewhere far |
|
You can't blame somebody |
|
for who they really are |
|
But what you've done to me, you know it just ain't fair |
|
I ain't gonna bitch about it, 'cause I know sure well, it just ain't there |
|
I'll walk away with my head held high, forgive and forget |
|
uh-uh daddy not this time |
|
I'll keep looking for my angel |
|
and I know I'll be just fine |
|
Oh stayin on the high road |
|
and walking away last time |
