Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No way
I don't wanna carry this weight, not anymore
Your play
So draw the line, we're ending what we're fighting for
And why do we hold on far too long?
I can't explain
You have made it harder just to stay strong
And why?
All the better roads ahead, I couldn't see them all along
[Chorus]
That's where it goes when you let your hopes lead
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
That's where it goes when you let your hopes lead
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I silenced every warning with the rush of believing
And that's where it goes when you let your hopes lead
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
I wonder
How am I supposed to sleep when you're not near?
'Cause I watched
Every wall come crashing down while you were here
I still wait
Clinging to the memories, I never change
Oh, why?
All the different roads we missed still cross my brain
[Chorus]
That's where it goes when you let your hopes lead
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
That's where it goes when you let your hopes lead
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I silenced every warning with the rush of believing
And that's where it goes when you let your hopes lead
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
I know where this road goes
Still I follow the glow (the glow)
When my reason says "enough"
My emotions take control
Lets start hey,hey
[Refrain]
Why does every lesson come too late
Why is every lesson late
That's where it goes when you let your hopes lead
[Chorus]
That's where it goes when you let your hopes lead
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
That's where it goes when you let your hopes lead
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
I silenced every warning with the rush of believing
And that's where it goes when you let your hopes lead
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
