Letra The road beneath my feet Emery

The road beneath my feet

I drove around this town when your letter found my eyes
You chose yourself and said that God told you that it was right
Did you care that i was still your bestfriend?
Did you think i would just be alright?
And you said that you were sorry but you couldn't take it one more night

So take your leave

I guess you never
Never knew yourself
What it means to be someone else
I'm someone else
The future seemed so bright
Now it seems like lies
Just a stupid kid too dumb to stop trying

Drown out your father's words that
Keep ringing in your ears
There's nothing left to call home
If you fail then you fail here

I guess you never
Never knew yourself
What it means to be someone else
I'm someone else
The future seemed so bright
Now it seems like lies
Just a stupid kid too dumb to stop trying
The weight of all the years of my life
And this moment catches me in stride
Cause i hope that leaving
Doesn't cost me everything?
When does a boy become a man?
Is it when his father tells him he can?
Cause that door was always shut
But when it's not it's harder to walk through

I found the road beneath my feet
(I took the road less traveled where it split beneath my feet)
But still it felt like wandering
(The voices in the distance were screaming "Don't you leave")
But I had to leave, I had to know if it was real
(Our days are filled with wandering, destinations in between)
If it was real the words I' wrote
(But if its real, the words we feel and if I write them down)

(Don't you sit there and tell me what want you to do)
Would they find their voice?
Is it escape we found?
(How could you, how could you make this a simple choice)
How could you make this a simple choice
From a old payphone
(The men we are, the men we hoped to be, you drove)
Would you believe?
Or will you say
You drove those miles for a stupid dream?
