The Beaten Path Lyrics

The Beaten Path lyrics

yesterday came and went

and i wasn't present

the weeks were laid out like pavement

work and drinkand sleep, repeat

upon the beaten path

i kept on my blinders...

don't need any old reminders

no face, no name, no memories



if you love it, you leave it

cause you hate that you need it

it's one thing that you can't have 

you're too self-absorbed to change

always, "my way"



tomorrow could come and go

and i'd sleep right through it

i'm not searching for self-improvement

i'm sticking to the beaten path

here and there i come across

an old acquaintance

some old flame, some old burn victim

i remember i need to forget

everything i ever said to you

if i could take it back

i'd eat every word

you want to feel

like all those others feel

but you won't, and you never will

all that you love you lose

you do
