The road is complicated to walk
sudden turns and cracks appearing under my feet. Where have gone
all the happy thoughts from my head?
I might have lost them with my cellphone and my love - they're gone
The road is complicated to walk
streetlights flashing in my eyes, they spin around
and I feel something following me
When I turn around, I see my past hanging over me
Like I could ever leave my own shadow behind
I cannot lead my footprints away from my path
They're following me through the night until end of my days
So where ever I go, I need to keep going on
The road is complicated to walk
I'm not sure if it's even worth seeing through,
but I'm too far to turn around,
I need to see what the future is holding for me
Like I could ever leave my own shadow behind...
Words I spoke out loud
Thoughts I turned into acts
All the promises I broke
Made this road so hard to carry on!
Like I could ever leave my own shadow behind...
