[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
It's proving hard to let go
I didn't think it'd be different, you know
But I want all that's left
Before you take a breath
A little bit of courage for the road
Being tied to you
I guess it gives me something to get through
But then when you're empty
There's nothing left for me
It's the same ending we return to

[Chorus]
But this way we go leads nowhere
This time's different, that's what you always swear
Without you around maybe I can change
If my mind felt clear, maybe I'd be saved
Or empty and missed, unloved and unkissed
I need a little courage for the road

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
How can I know what to feel?
You leave to ignoring what is real
It's such a subtle difference between the fool and fearless
Trade again and left it here
[Chorus]
But this way we go leads nowhere
This time's different, that's what you always swear
Without you around maybe I can change
If my mind felt clear, maybe I'd be saved
Or empty and missed, unloved and unkissed
I need a little courage for the road

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I need a little courage for the road
Courage for the road

[Verse 3]
The moment lies like it cares
It leaves me faulted and under-prepared
To deal with what comes next, the shame and emptiness
Knowing better but choosing to fail

[Chorus]
But this way we go leads nowhere
This time's different, that's what you always swear
All these faults, these mistakes are mine to bear
Without you around maybe I can change
And if my mind felt clear, maybe I'd be saved
Or empty and missed, unloved and unkissed
Too broken from this and unable to dismiss
I need a little courage for the road
Courage for the road
