[00:00.00] I won't be a v...
[00:00.00] I won't be a victim, a beggar, a fool
[00:28.08]I try to live my life by the golden rule
[00:36.72]If you don't love me
[00:41.10]What am I supposed to do
[00:45.57]I'll take the high road and walk on away from you
[00:59.22]I'll find me an angel
[01:03.36]To lift me up in time
[01:08.40]I'll listen for the voice
[01:12.42]Which speaks my bitter mind
[01:16.98]I'll try to forgive myself
[01:21.54]for not heeding all the signs
[01:25.92]Oh, I'll take the high road
[01:29.82]And walk away one last time
[01:37.26]I'll wipe away the tears
[01:40.59]'Cause I know darn well I've tried
[01:46.11]I'll look inside myself
[01:49.38]For the part that was mine
[01:54.36]I ain't gonna try to hurt ya back or lie and say I didn't care
[02:03.21]I'll just take the high road
[02:07.41]and walk away from here
[02:10.89]My heart is battered, my soul is bruised
[02:20.13]my face is wearing that same false smile, I used to use
[02:30.15]I put my feelings under lock and key
[02:36.75]Oh, and take the high road
[02:41.13]And walk on away quietly
[02:53.67]I'll pack up my pride and go somewhere far
[03:02.28]You can't blame somebody
[03:06.75]for who they really are
[03:11.40]But what you've done to me, you know it just ain't fair
[03:19.50]I ain't gonna ***** about it, 'cause I know sure well, it just ain't there
[03:28.50]I'll walk away with my head held high, forgive and forget
[03:39.39]uh- uh daddy not this time
[03:45.06]I'll keep looking for my angel
[03:49.47]and I know I'll be just fine
[03:53.94]Oh stayin on the high road
[03:58.29]and walking away last time
