The High Road
JoJo Lyrics

Oh
Expressing emotion without any particular meaning.

Yeah, yeah
Saying yes or agreeing with something.

Oh
Another emotional interjection without much meaning.

I gave you my heart
I gave you all of myself.

I gave you my soul
I gave you everything that defined me as a person.

I gave everything that I had
I gave you everything I had to offer.

But ya left me in the cold
You abandoned me when I needed you the most.

But still I have faith
Despite everything, I still have faith in love.

Somehow I believe
I have a sense of hope that things will get better.

That if I keep love in my heart
If I continue to believe in love.

It will find its way to me
Love will eventually come to me.

I could fight
I could retaliate in anger.

Seek revenge
I could hurt you like you hurt me.

But that's not who I am
I am better than that and won't stoop to your level.

No, I'm not givin' in
I won't let you bring me down.

I will rise above
I will be the better person and not let your actions define me.

I'm gonna keep walkin'
I won't stop moving forward in my life.

Though it may seem far
Even though the journey ahead of me may be difficult.

I'm gonna keep preachin'
I will continue to espouse my beliefs in love, kindness, and forgiveness.

Even when life seems hard
Even when life seems unbearable at times.

Not gonna let you bring me down
I won't let you hurt me anymore and drag me down with you.

I'm gonna take the high road
I will do the right thing and not seek revenge or act maliciously.

I'm gonna keep climbin'
I will continue to strive for success and happiness.

Till I see the top
Until I achieve my goals and aspirations.

I'm gonna keep drivin'
I won't give up on myself or my dreams.

Though I may get lost
Even if I stray from my path at times.

I take the high road
I will always choose the path of forgiveness, kindness, and love.

This pain that I feel
The emotional pain and heartbreak I am experiencing.

I will overcome
I will find a way to move past this and become stronger because of it.

I know somewhere deep down inside
I have an inner strength that will help me get through this.

It's the pain that makes us strong
Enduring difficult times can make us stronger and more resilient as people.

I could curse
I could wish bad things upon you.

I could shout
I could express my anger and frustration loudly.

Take the easy way out
I could succumb to my pain and take drastic measures.

I forgive you
Despite all that you have done, I choose to forgive you.

Somehow I will rise above
I will overcome this pain and become a better person because of it, despite the odds.

I'm gonna get by on the high road
I will make it through this difficult time by taking the path of forgiveness, love, and kindness.

To be real
To be genuine and authentic in my feelings.

I can't keep it inside
I need to express my feelings and emotions to heal and move forward.

I may fall sometimes
I may stumble and make mistakes at times, but I will get back up and keep going.

But I will survive
I will make it through this and become a stronger person because of it.

I'm gonna keep reachin'
I will continue to strive for my goals and dreams, no matter what obstacles I face.

I'm gonna keep climbin'
I will keep pushing forward and keep getting better.

I'm gonna keep tryin'
I won't give up on myself or my dreams, even if it takes longer than expected.
