On My Way
Lea Michele Lyrics

My words are wrapped in barbwire
My speech is harsh and intended to cut. I struggle with expressing myself in a way that is both effective and compassionate.

My actions speak for what I can't say
My behaviors reveal my true feelings and intentions better than my words do.

'Cause I fall one step forward To push you away, push you away
I'm afraid of getting hurt, so I try to create distance in my relationships before they become too intimate or damaging.

I wish that I could listen To all the advice that I give away
Despite preaching good advice to others, I struggle with taking my own counsel when it comes to my personal life.

But it's hard to see things clearly Through all of the pain, all of the pain
The emotional pain I am in makes it difficult to maintain perspective and make good decisions.

I'm caught in the rain, caught in the rain
I feel stuck and helpless, unable to escape my current situation.

And my heart's too drunk to drive I should stay away from you tonight But in this blackout state of mind Baby all I want is you tonight
I am aware that it might not be safe or healthy to pursue this relationship, but my emotions are clouding my judgment and leading me to make reckless choices.

When my head tells me "no" My heart tells me "go" So I'm hitting in the road 'cause I
My rational mind tells me to stay away from this relationship, but my emotions are urging me to take the risk and pursue it.

Yeah there's a million voices Screaming that this love's a dead-end road But the only voice that I hear Is telling me "go", telling me "go"
Others may warn me against pursuing this relationship, but my feelings are so intense and all-consuming that they drown out any external doubts or criticism.

The sun is rising sober While passion fades and I'm on my own My helpless heart's hangover I'm all out of hope, all out of hope Where do we go? Where do we go?
The morning brings clarity and sobriety, revealing the emptiness and despair that accompany my actions. Despite feeling lost and helpless, I am unsure of how to escape this cycle.

And no one's words can stop me I'm past the point of no return No matter how it hurts me I'm running to you, running to you
I am so deeply invested in this relationship that no amount of criticism or advice will make me reconsider my path. I am willingly running into the potential pain and heartache that come with it.

To you, you, to you tonight I'm on my way to you, you To you, I'm on my way
Despite the consequences, I am still choosing to pursue this relationship and reach out to my partner.

But I'm on my way to you Yeah, I'm on my way To you, you, to you tonight I'm on my way to you, you To you, I'm on my way to you
No matter how reckless or dangerous it may seem, I am determined to pursue this relationship and continue on my current path towards my partner.
