Jay Parish - One Of Us Lyrics

You have too much love for your own good
You try to save everyone you know without thinking twice
You just can't say no when you should
And you're the only one that ends up paying the price
So before you go around trying to be a hero
Just know, that the hero ends up being sacrificed

On this dark and lonely road
The ones you want to take
Just might be the reason you get lost along the way

But no matter what you change
It's never gonna be enough, or too much
You're still gonna make it there
But you might be the only one of us who does

You have too much heart for your own good
All your blood, sweat and tears go to waste
You give your all just like they knew you would
And they take advantage of you in a hundred different ways
So before you go around trying to be a leader
Just know, being a leader means they want to take your place

On this dark and lonely road
The ones you want to take
Just might be the reason you get lost along the way

But no matter what you change
It's never gonna be enough, or too much
You're still gonna make it there
But you might be the only one of us who does

Once you go down that road
Don't look back, don't look back
Once you go down that road
Don't come back, don't come back
'Cause all the roads and places in your path
Were the ones you were meant to pass

On this dark and lonely road
The ones you want to take
Just might be the reason you get lost along the way

But no matter what you change
It's never gonna be enough, or too much
You're still gonna make it there
But you might be the only one of us who does
