Lyrics

The Path I Chose

[Verse 1]

I was given the room to roam around

Haunting every inch of this lonely town

When the walls of every bar begin to peel

And the faded mirrors reflecting the way I feel

[Pre-Chorus]

I look up and there you are

So distant, but a constant star

[Chorus]

When we said goodbye you held me close

This was always gonna be the path I chose

[Verse 2]

So quick to see the bottom of the glass

How can it be the good things never last?

Well I come to the party only slightly late

My imaginary dalliance just lies in wait

[Pre-Chorus]

I look up and there you are

So distant, but a constant star

[Chorus]

When we said goodbye you held me close (Do do-do do)

This was always gonna be the path I chose (Do do-do do)

And the tears that stain your cheekbones still won't dry (Do do-do do)

What was lost has been too hard to find (Do do-do do)

[Bridge]

They say no man is an island (No man is an island!)

But I'm not sure I agree

[Chorus]

I've been turning corners in my mind (Do do-do do)

Cul-de-sacs are all I seem to find (Do do-do do)

[Bridge]

They say no man is an island (No man is an island!)

But I'm not sure I agree

[Chorus]

When we said goodbye you held me close (Do do-do do)

This was always gonna be the path I chose (Do do-do do)

And the tears that stain your cheekbones still won't dry (Do do-do do)

What was lost has been too hard to find (Do do-do do)

(Do do-do do)

(Do do-do do)

(Do do-do do)
