The moon tonight won’t let me sleep
Would you share a drink with me?
I have some time to make this bar my home
Please don’t get me wrong, you see
I appreciate some company
But I am here to walk this road alone
I am here to walk this road alone
Birds and trees and factories
Painted with an evening breeze
On copper skies that slowly turn to gold
Every now and then I wish
I had someone to share that with
But I came here to walk this road alone
I came here to walk this road alone
I should stop, it’s getting late
I haven’t really talked in days
The nights get quiet out there on my own
No sign of a morning sun
Would you mind having another one?
Before I leave to walk this road alone
Before I leave to walk this road alone
Usually I’m out the door
As soon as they don’t serve no more
On any other night I’d be long gone
I don’t know what you do to me
This isn’t who I used to be
But I don’t want to walk this road alone
Please don’t make me walk this road alone

When you wish you couldn’t love
You’re dying to forget her but you know you never will
When you wish your heart could just be still
You lie awake at night scared of what you’re dreaming of
When you wish you couldn’t love
When you curse the day you met
And all the pretty memories that you’ve gathered over time
When you wish there was another story line
Where you left in the morning and that would’ve been enough
When you wish you couldn’t love
When you wish you’d looked away
Never seen her smiling back
You wish she’d never asked you to stay
When you wish she would’ve lied
Maybe your heart could find forgiveness if it wasn’t split in two
When it’s finally time to face the truth
You know you should keep going but you feel like giving up
When you wish you couldn’t love
When you wish you’d looked away
Never seen it in her eyes
You wish you would’ve begged her to stay
When you wish you couldn’t love
You’re dying to forget her but you know you never will
When you wish your heart could just be still
You lie awake at night scared of what you’re dreaming of
When you wish you couldn’t love
