Lately We’ve Been Drifting
Lately I've been thinking,
I've been thinking of a long long path.
The type we used to laugh about,
The type we used to dream about.
The path to home,
A place where I could just belong.
It's not that I'm lonely.
I'm just trying to go on here.
I'm ready to walk away from all the ways,
The days of constant torture,
The days we filled with sorrow.
I don't believe I can keeping pretending anymore.
So lead away your sorrows,
I guess there's really no tomorrow.
We're going our seperate ways.
I can't seem to understand,
Are you listening?
Well damn,
I thought we could just, well, talk it out.
Justify your feelings,
I know that you're still trying,
But it's just that I'm not a little kid,
No, not anymore.
I'm growing up, tonight,
My decision has been made,
I need to learn to be out on my own.
Life is a trial and an error,
Please don't look at me with those eyes.
I need to walk away.
It's not that I'm saying that I'm lonely.
I'm just trying to go on here.
I'm ready to walk away from all the ways,
The days of constant torture,
The days we filled with sorrow.
I don't believe I can keeping pretending anymore.
So listen to me for once,
You can only help yourself.
I'm not the adult you want to be.
I'm living on my own life,
I'm more self sufficient than you know now.
Just please don't walk a-way.
Don't turn away,
There's no hiding from life.
I still want that connection,
But I can't just stay with you.
I need to be living on many own now,
Making my own decisions.
I know this city isn't meant for you.
So move along your own way,
I am no longer there to tie you down,
The situation of our lives.
I can tell it isn't working,
I'm just trying to make a start now.
I need to walk away.
It's not that I'm saying I don't need you.
I'm just trying to go on here.
I'm ready to walk away from all the ways,
The days of constant torture,
The days we filled with sorrow.
I don't believe I can keeping pretending anymore.
