Lyrics

Dead End Road (Unlocked)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

My heart is heavy like a stone

Hot as hell up in the cold

Loneliness is sleeping in my room

Love is empty on the plate

Nothing left to give or take

Waiting for the dawn to break in two

But the Sun don't dry nothin'

And the waterfalls keep coming

And tears keep breaking through

At least we'll try (try)

Try to make it

When you're living right

But it's going wrong

We try (try)

Try to make it

When you feel like

You're living on dead end road

We still try

Try, try, try

If I should die before I wake

Would tears wash away mistakes?

My troubles should be made to fade to nothing

'Cause I don't want to be the one

To turn the lights off on love

I just wanna be above something

But the Sun don't dry nothin'

And the waterfalls keep coming

Tears keep breaking through

But at least we'll try (try)

Try to make it

When you're living right

But it's going wrong

We try (try)

Try to make it

When you feel like

You're living on dead end road

We still try

Try, try, try

We still try

If we just try

If we just try

Something

At least we'll love

At least we'll love

Something

When you feel like

You're living on dead end road

You gotta try, baby

Try, try, try (try)

Try, try, try

Try, oh, try (try)

Oh, try, try

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
