Final Draft- Updated 06/07/05 9:18 am. I decided to shorten the name to just "The Path". The back up vocals have some distortion and the intro has some synth. The drums have changed...for the better.
Watch out for the other guy! Well, in this case "girl". I was going through some rough times with my ex-girlfriend. The memory of her constant infidelity along with my ignorance and lack of concern. A lot of the song is sarcastic. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I eventually learn to accept everything for the way it is and go on with my life. Discovering that life is a lesson that you learn during the span of one's own life experiences.
I can still taste the pain
The memory still remains
To live inside all this time
And even though I never tried
You never know I could have lied
And acted like the whole thing never happened
I take it back
You were right
It was all just in my head
No doubt
You believe I’m the one
That sleeps beside you in the bed
And when I kiss your lips
I can feel it all melt away
You can forget about all the bad things I said
I never meant them anyway
[chorus]
I am but one man who
Remains to walk alone
To find the path that leads
The path that leads to home
Every time you speak my name
I hope it hurts you just the same
So that you can feel my pain
The things I do the games I play
It doesn’t matter what people say
I will never change my ways
One day I will find
What I've been lookin' for
You never know what lies
On the other side of the door
And when I rest my head
In the place that I call home
I will remember to stick
To the right path that I was shown
[chorus]
