Sharon Robinson - The High Road lyrics

I won't be a victim, a beggar, a fool I try to live my life by the golden rule If you don't love me What am I supposed to do I'll take the high road and walk on away from you I'll find me an angel To lift me up in time I'll listen for the voice Which speaks my bitter mind I'll try to forgive myself For not heeding all the signs Oh, I'll take the high road And walk away one last time I'll wipe away the tears 'Cause I know darn well I've tried I'll look inside myself For the part that was mine I ain't gonna try to hurt ya back or lie and say I didn't care I'll just take the high road And walk away from here My heart is battered, my soul is bruised My face is wearing that same false smile, I used to use I put my feelings under lock and key Oh, and take the high road And walk on away quietly I'll pack up my pride and go somewhere far You can't blame somebody For who they really are But what you've done to me, you know it just ain't fair I ain't gonna b**h about it, 'cause I know sure well, it just ain't there I'll walk away with my head held high, forgive and forget Uh-uh daddy not this time I'll keep looking for my angel And I know I'll be just fine Oh stayin on the high road And walking away last time
