I Walk This Mile lyrics

He once defied the world
With her by his side
Champions of independence
Each an iron pride

They worshipped the ground each other ruled
But they grew decadent
Their love became a monument of time
But times change, even on the heaven sent

I walk this mile under nothing but the sky
I thought it was for you, but you just passed me by
Sure you stayed for a while
With your seductive smile
Hiding all the pain
It just goes to show you that even the love of God can die
But I won't fall in love again

His heart has been cremated
And now is one with the road
Cold, cracked, and lonely, walked all over
He feels so empty, or so I'm told

He just can't let go of the past
He still blames himself for the love that couldn't last
He just stares deep into the mirror
And hates everything he sees

I walk this mile under nothing but the sky
I thought it was for you, but you just passed me by
Sure you stayed for a while
With your seductive smile
Hiding all the pain
It just goes to show you that even the love of God can die
But I won't fall in love again

Alone he sets his goals real high
Alone he pretends he can forget her face
But her name is the code on his bankcard
And her birth date opens up his new brief case

Because she's half of who he is
He's only half of who he was
He lost all of his sincere beliefs
And curbs his pain with anything that can give him a buzz
I walk this mile under nothing but the sky
I thought it was for you, but you just passed me by
Sure you stayed for a while
With your seductive smile
Hiding all the pain
It just goes to show you that even the love of God can die
But I won't fall in love again
