On My Way

It’s a place we’ve been many times before
Followed by the knowing sound of a slamming door
I don’t like being here now
I don’t like being here now

Edge of the cliff, fearful of the height
But when I look down I know what I’ll find
Still I won’t make a sound
Still I won’t make a sound

All the disillusion I’ve felt before
Clinging to my heart and mind ‘til I’m jaded
The writing’s on the walls, ceilings, and the floors
And I walk on eggshells trying not to break them

I’m gonna cross that bridge and just move on
You deserve less from me than the time of day
And you might think that I think that you have won
Because like a spoiled child you have gotten your way

It’s a place we’ve been many times before
And now I can finally walk through that door
My happiness I want to shout
My happiness I want to shout

You see, I’m the dragon slayer
And you are broken beyond repair
It’s a freedom that I have found
It’s a freedom that I have found

Not going to pretend to care anymore
Healing my heart and mind of this hatred
I’ve repainted the walls, ceilings, and the floors
And I made my own rules and you can’t even break them

I can see clearly now the pain is gone
I learned how to block every punch when you threw me shade
And you you should know that your actions can’t be undone
I’m on my way, yeah I have found my way

This path you wanted me to follow
Left me feeling empty and only more hollow
Yeah, this path you had me follow
Left me feeling empty and only more hollow

I’m on my way now that those days are gone
I control all the things that I have changed
And you should know that my actions can’t be undone
There’s a better way, yeah it’s a new day
