Lyrics
Stopped to catch my breath
And looked back on my life
With all its regrets
It's a road that never ends
It's a traveling circus
Without hope or purpose
Draw your cards and place your bet
Just to see how far you get today
So don't cry me a river
Or sing me your songs
Don't tell me everything will be fine
Because I don't need anyone
To help make it through
I'm alright with my own peace of mind
Right on time
It's a long and winding road
Sometimes you win some
You lose some
And you let some things go
And we have this cross to bear
That we carry around
But we never know where
Or when it's time to put it down
Keep your faith and hit the ground again
So don't cry me a river
Or sing me your songs
Don't tell me everything will be fine
Because I don't need anyone
To help make it through
I'm alright with my own peace of mind
Right on time
And you'll trip and fall over
And hope when you're sober
That I will have changed my mind
But the pieces you were hoping to find
Won't be there this time
They'll fade over time
And I will redefine
And I will leave it all behind
And I will leave here redefined
And there is nothing I will miss
As I leave here on my own
The innocence I shared with you
Will taste bitter when I'm gone
And there is nothing left to say
I don't need to change my mind
I will redefine the man I am
And leave the rest behind
