On My Way
Hill Ingram Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't want to be friends
I've had enough to last a lifetime
And I don't want to go again
I don't have to find a reason
And I don't have to answer why
It doesn't matter who is wrong here
I just want to see you cry
And on my way I'll take the sunshine
On my way I'll take your dreams
On my way I'll say I'm sorry to no one but me
Let your family know I'm leavin'
Lie to your girlfriends that you're well
Call and leave a cryin' message
I want to know it hurts like hell
And on my way I'll take the sunshine
On my way I'll take your dreams
On my way I'll say I'm sorry to no one but me
On my way I'll be my own man
And I'll only please myself
On my way my pride's the only feeling I've got left
