Lyrics for On Your Way Down

Be on you way don't try to say That you love me still If we couldn't find the right dream by now Then we never will We paid our dues at the door And never once saw the stage We wrote our share of love's lore And never quite filled the page So be on your way Be on your way maybe someday We will meet again Try not to cry, tears make me think How it might have been We loved as strong as we could But love only got in our way We took our time to be free There's nothing much more to say But be on your way
