Down That Road

[Intro]

Oh

I've been down that road

[Verse 1]

Holding my ground and it kills me

'Cause you're so cool to be around

When you're around

But I think you've lost you

And I think of other lovers lost

And the soul wrenching cost

And I'd rather have you in my life, yeah

Feeling down

But empowered just the same

High on the pain that I'm saying no to

Don't wanna be another lesson learned

Another stripe you've earned

So goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]

Sometimes the light just fades

Yeah the ball of yarn that just runs out

And you hold on for dear life

Coming from a place of doubt

Sometimes the light just fades

Yeah the ball of yarn just runs out

And you hold on for dear life

Coming from a place of doubt

[Chorus]

Well I've been down that road once or twice before

Once or twice before

I ain't going there again

You can't take me there

I won't follow you

I will walk away

While I still can call you a friend

[Verse 2]

Led me down the garden path

Then who's left with the aftermath

And it doesn't add up

It's a mixed equation

Was in for the long haul

Yeah you were my all-in-all

Guess I was your recreation

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Sometimes you swim and swim

Expecting to see something more

And your whole soul gives out

Before you reach the shore

Sometimes you swim

And you see nothing more

And your whole soul gives out

Before you reach the shore

[Chorus]

Well

I've been down that road once or twice before

Once or twice before

I ain't going down again

You can't take me there

I won't follow you

I won't follow you

To some bitter bitter end

Whoh, woah, I've been down that road

[Bridge]

Soothing music plays

Used to think of our somedays

When there was a someday

But it came too soon

Soothing music plays

Used to think of our somedays

When there was a someday

But it came too soon

Just as well

[Chorus]

'Cause I've been down that road once or twice before

Once or twice before

I ain't going down again

You can't take me there

I won't follow you

I won't follow you

Oh no

I've been down that road, been down that road before

Ain't going down again

Oh no

I ain't going there again

I've been down that road, been down that road before

Ain't going down again

Um

I've been down that road, been down that road before

Ain't going down again

Oh, you can't take me there

I've been down that road, been down that road before

Ain't going down again

Whoa

I've been down that road, been down that road before

Ain't going down again
