​​high road Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was young, my mother showed me
To become strong, you had to only
Cover your fears, don't show your lonely
Put others first before your own needs

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not all bad, but I get lonely
And I get sad and I feel broken
If there's no task, I just assume one
I feel the burden perform for no one

[Chorus]
And I walk the high road where nobody else has tread
I break my back on the things other people say
I'm getting tired always tryin' to do my best
When I don't feel it, no, I don't feel it

[Verse 2]
And now I'm older, I've learnеd some lessons
To becomе stronger, you have to listen
Keep it open, don't try to hide it
And if you need love, don't try to fight it (Don't try to fight it)

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not all bad, but I get lonely (You're not here)
And I get sad and I feel broken
If there's no task, then I just assume one (You're losing the battle)
I feel the burden, perform for no one
[Chorus]
And I walk the high road where nobody else has tread
I break my back on the things other people say
I'm gettin' tired always tryin' to do my best
When I don't feel it, no, I don't feel it

[Bridge]
(Oh, oh)
It's just my ego and my pride
I live my life in disguise
And when I'm hurtin', it's incognito
So everybody thinks I'm a hero

[Chorus]
And I walk the high road where nobody knows my name
I'm gettin' tired of playin' these stupid games
I do my best tryin' to keep the world afloat
But I don't need this, no, I don't need this

[Outro]
Oh, woah, oh, oh
Oh, woah, oh, oh, woah
But I don't need this, yeah, I don't need this

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
