Courage for the Road

One, two, three, four
 It's proving hard to let go
 I didn't think it'd be different, you know
 But I want all that's left
 Before you take a breath
 A little bit of courage for the road
 Being tied to you
 I guess it gives me something to get through
 But then when you're empty
 There's nothing left for me
 It's the same ending we return to
 But this way we go leads nowhere
 This time's different, that's what you always swear
 Without you around maybe I can change
 If my mind felt clear, maybe I'd be saved
 Or empty and missed, unloved and unkissed
 I need a little courage for the road
 How can I know what to feel?
 You leave to ignoring what is real
 It's such a subtle difference between the fool and fearless
 Trade again and left it here
 But this way we go leads nowhere
 This time's different, that's what you always swear
 Without you around maybe I can change
 If my mind felt clear, maybe I'd be saved
 Or empty and missed, unloved and unkissed
 I need a little courage for the road
 I need a little courage for the road
 Courage for the road
 The moment lies like it cares
 It leaves me faulted and under-prepared
 To deal with what comes next, the shame and emptiness
 Knowing better but choosing to fail
 But this way we go leads nowhere
 This time's different, that's what you always swear
 All these faults, these mistakes are mine to bear
 Without you around maybe I can change
 And if my mind felt clear, maybe I'd be saved
 Or empty and missed, unloved and unkissed
 Too broken from this and unable to dismiss
 I need a little courage for the road
 Courage for the road
