The Hardest Road To Travel

THE HARDEST ROAD TO TRAVEL - Written by Carroll Bryant

When I think of how we were

I fall victim to myself

I didn’t care how much it hurt

For every heaven tastes of hell

But I poured it out for you

And this you need to know

From the seed of just one glance

A feeling had to grow

If only I had known

Of course I didn’t know

That the hardest road to travel

Is the day you said goodbye

When everything unraveled

There was nothing left in your eyes

And the quickest ones to follow

Were the ones who couldn’t see

Breaking up is never easy

It was the end of everything

Everything to me

I want to give that way again sometime

Just I like did before

I want to give my love and then to find

I want to give a little bit more

This is the lesson that I learned

So at least I realize

When you bleed to death tomorrow

You’ll have the map to paradise

If only there were warnings

There never seems to be a sign

That the hardest road to travel

Is the day you said goodbye

When everything unraveled

There was nothing left in your eyes

And the quickest ones to follow

Were the ones who couldn’t see

Breaking up is never easy

It was the end of everything

Everything to me

This is my own confession

No matter how late that it comes

I know it’s no consolation

But you were really the only one

This is of my own doing

To myself I always burn

So I ask for your forgiveness

To the lesson I have learned

This is the lesson that I learned

That the hardest road to travel

Is the day you said goodbye

When everything unraveled

There was nothing left in your eyes

And the quickest ones to follow

Were the ones who couldn’t see

Breaking up is never easy

It was the end of everything

The hardest road to travel

Is the one you let pass by

When the road you’re on is gravel

It never makes for an easy ride

And the smartest ones to ponder

Are the ones who aren’t in need

Breaking up is never easy

It was the end of everything

Everything to me
