The High Road

I won't be a victim, a beggar, a fool
I try to live by the golden rule
If you don't love me
What am I gonna do
I'll just take the high road and walk away from you

I'll find an angel
To lift me up in time
I'll listen for the voice that's speaks my bitter mind
I'll try to forgive myself
For not heeding the signs
I'll take the high road
And walk away one last time
I'll wipe away the tears

And take credit for trying
I'll look inside myself
For the part that was mine
I won't try to hurt ya back

Or say I never cared
I'll just take the high road
And walk away from here

My heart is battered, my soul is bruised
My face is wearing that smile I used
I put my anger under lock and key
And I'll take the high road
And walk on away quietly

I'll pack up my pride and go somewhere far
I guess you can't blame someone for who they are
But no matter what you've done, it ain't fair
I'm not going to fight about something, it just ain't there
I'll walk away with my head held high
Forgive and forget, no baby, not this time
I'll just look for an angel
And I'll be fine
I'll take the high road
And walk away one last time
