When I need space, that's where I go A place to escape that nobody knows Where I feel free to let things go And face this evil that burdens my soul I bring my hatred, I pack my pain All the emotions I cannot explain It's where I found God and filled that hole It's He, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road When I'm in pain or when I suffer a loss When I need to cry or pray This is where I go I leave it all on this empty road I have peace of mind when I am here My soul is calm when I am here This is where I go Just me and the Holy Ghost When I need space, that's where I go A place to escape that nobody knows Where I feel free to let things go And face this evil that burdens my soul I bring my hatred, I pack my pain All the emotions I cannot explain It's where I found God and filled that hole It's He, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road Not many words to explain this My heart is broken, it's aching I try to be your Superman But I'm afraid that I'm the one who needs saving When my back is against the wall, it's the only place I can go It's like a second home I'd rather be alone It's the only way to cope But once the pain is over I hear knock, knock, knock, knock Oh, it's just reality Oops, there goes gravity If I let my guard down, then the whole world's gon' fall on me The only place that gives me hope Is that lonely dirt road When I need space, that's where I go A place to escape that nobody knows Where I feel free to let things go And face this evil that burdens my soul I bring my hatred, I pack my pain All the emotions I cannot explain It's where I found God and filled that hole It's He, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road I know you need time alone You work yourself down to the bone So decompress, catch your breath Then find your way back home 'Cause oh, there's something you should know You got so used to doing things on your own But I am here to share the load I'll take your dirt and pave it into roads of gold When I need space, that's where I go A place to escape that nobody knows Where I feel free to let things go And face this evil that burdens my soul I bring my hatred, I pack my pain All the emotions I cannot explain It's where I found God and filled that hole It's He, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road Yeah, I talk to myself when I'm broken Like shedding a tear in the dark Nobody hears my confessions of loneliness Echoing off of the walls in my car It's a forming addiction, acting so fictionally Trying to convince them I'm one with the stars But it's molding a faulty perception of happiness That has been vacant inside of my heart I've been falling apart (part, part) I've been stuck on this road With no sense of serenity, mentally I carry loads of my baggage, they question me Ask if I'm fine, but my tendencies Murdered the truth (murdered the truth) This loneliness got me distressed, and I fear That eventually I'll be so stuck in my lies That it'll be me in that rearview mirror When I need space, that's where I go A place to escape that nobody knows Where I feel free to let things go And face this evil that burdens my soul I bring my hatred, I pack my pain All the emotions I cannot explain It's where I found God and filled that hole It's He, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road
