I’ve been down the road of madness
I’ve been down the road of shame
I’ve been lost and hurt and lonely
Feeling good and bad again

I’ve been travelling all around me
I’ve been looking for a home
I’ve been longing for someone to
Hear my words and mine alone

Please understand
Please let me in
Teach me to let a feeling linger
Show me the way at the end of the road
You could have been
My secret lover

I’ve betrayed and I have cheated
I’ve been gone but always there
And sometimes my heart's been left in
In the middle of nowhere

I’ve been down the road of freedom
I’ve been up where I belong
I’ve been everything they wanted
I’ve been solid and so strong

Please understand
Please let me in
Teach me to let a feeling linger
Show me the way at the end of the road
You could have been
My secret lover
