I got a message from a friend Said: You've been quiet since the day you let her in And we'd all love to know just where you went 'Cause, honey, you don't look the same I barely recognize you with that look on your face My God, those words are burned into my brain You showed me I should stop and I ignored it Oh, I swore to God you'd be important There's blisters on my feet I ran right through my shoes These roads are changing me But they all lead back to you 'Cause you're still in my skin I've done all I can do But I chose to let you in Now the roads lead back to you So when they ask me where I've been I'll plug the drain and calmly say: I never left And quietly wish we had never met 'Cause that slow pain don't like to wait No, it comes quick and then it never fades away And I lost part of me that day You showed me I should stop and I ignored it Oh, I swore to God you'd be important There's blisters on my feet I ran right through my shoes These roads are changing me But they all lead back to you 'Cause you're still in my skin I've done all I can do But I chose to let you in Now the roads lead back to you
