The High Road
♬ Three Days Grace Lyrics

I told you I was hurt
I expressed to you that I was experiencing emotional pain

Bleeding on the inside
Although there were no physical wounds, I was hurting inwardly

I told you I was lost
I informed you that I felt directionless and unsure of what to do

In the middle of my life
This feeling of being lost occured during a significant period of my existence

There’s times I stayed alive for you
At certain points, I continued to live because I valued and cared for you

There’s times I would’ve died for you
At various moments, I was willing to sacrifice my life to protect or save yours

There’s times it didn’t matter at all
On some occasions, my actions were independent of you and what you thought

Will you help me find the right way up
Can you assist me in finding the correct path or direction to take

Or let me take the wrong way down
Or will you allow me to make mistakes and go down the wrong route

Will you straighten me out
Can you guide me to the right course of action and help me fix my problems

Or make me take the long way around
Or will you challenge me to find my own solutions and take a longer path

I took the low road in
I previously chose an easier, less challenging path

I’ll take the high road out
But now, I am determined to take a more difficult, yet more rewarding path

I’ll do whatever it takes
I am committed to making the necessary sacrifices and putting in the effort required

To be the mistake you can’t live without
I am willing to take risks and make mistakes if it means that I am still an integral part of your life

Standing in the dark
I am in a difficult and unclear situation

I can see your shadow
However, you are still there, providing some form of light and hope

You’re the only light
You are the only one who can guide me out of this darkness

That’s breaking through the window
Your presence is providing a glimpse of clarity and brightness

We’ll I’m not gonna give it away
I will not surrender or give up on this situation

Not gonna let it go, just to wake up someday gone! Gone!
I refuse to let go of what is important to me and then regret it in the future

The worst part is looking back
The most difficult aspect is reflecting on this situation later on

And knowing that I was wrong
And realizing that my decisions or actions were incorrect or misguided

I’ll do whatever it takes
Once again, I am determined to do whatever is necessary to achieve my goals

To be the mistake you can’t live without
Even if I make mistakes, I am still valuable and important to you and your life
