All the Roads Were Lonely

In a dream I heard your voice calling to me
Saying "where have you gone Baby Boy?"
Though I can't see you exposed or completely
I can still make out the sound of your voice
And dreams change like many seasons
Sometimes you are there and then you're not
When I've found you're no longer mine, for obvious reasons
I recoil into the heartache that I've got
There's no joy in seeing you with another man
When I know that our love should have survived
But I know, in the end, it was foolish to pretend
That what we had would've always kept me alive

Inside I'm haunted by the memories that we made
I'm holding onto them like a stubborn child
Had you told me the love I had to give wasn't enough, Babe
I would've let you go back to being wild
And I avoid all the places that we had ever been
Just because I am afraid that you're going to be there
Holding onto someone new, like I know that you will do
Condescendingly trite and vapidly unaware
Desperately I exist in sour moments of what could've been
Knowing fully the betrayals you inflicted upon me
When my dreams hold out for a simpler conclusion, confusion
Why weren't you strong enough for the things we could be

I thought I found you when I met you
I thought finally this man will be mine
I said here is my heart you dumb fucker
I insisted that true love was blind
I set down on a path to forever
I made sure that that we were heading the right way
I held your hand when you were too scared to jump
I never thought that you would go astray
Baby, I wanted to be all that you wanted
Needed to be in love and to be your "only"
Instead I found out that I am still a lovelorn fool
Back to wandering the roads of the lonely
