Holding on To Nothing

Doesn't happen over night, but you turn around and a months gone by,
And you realize you haven't cried.
I'm not giving you a hour or a second or another minute longer.
Because I'm too busy getting stronger.

Maybe I needed some time
Maybe I still need more
To walk away from the path of
broken hearts, and onto the road of life forevermore.

It doesn't matter if I get lost again.
I know that my friends will be there for me
and they'll be holding a map
because before you told me

That we don't need directions.
That we can make our own way.
That we can make our way work.

Look where that led us.
It led us back to your ex,
and you fell for her all over again.

It doesn't mean I'm against
having things unplanned happen.
I look at it as a warning
saying unpredictable things happen
but you have to keep moving along
if you loose friends or gain them.

I'll keep journeying on this road,
until I live my dream

with a map in my pocket,
my friends by my side,
heart on shoulder no more,
and a burning thirst
of taking a walk on the wild side.

So I'll kick the dust off my converse,
start walking without a care in my mind.
I'll achieve something more
than we could have ever achieved
before we said goodbye.

I'll leave my memories somewhere along the road,
I don't need them.
I'll leave the happiness I had with you.

For now,
I can live life on my own.
I know I'm strong enough
that when I fall,
I'll get back up.

When I do fall,
and can't get up,
someone will be there.
I don't know who.
Whether a friend, or the one,
I'll take their hand
and get right back up with them.

I never got to say goodbye.
And I know I never will.
But thats okay
Because we might cross paths again
As friends, or as what we use to be.

So that's why I'll never say goodbye.
