You build me up to tear me down Throw me in the fire Twist the things I say around Paint me as a liar Sometimes I don't know just what I'm doing But I can see exactly what I've done I have made my peace with my reflection Nothing you could do, nothing you could say would make me run Keep the river on your right, and keep walking Never let them look you in the eye Keep the river on your right, and keep walking Never ever let them see you cry They tell you take it like a man Pain will make you stronger But this is not the path I planned The road keeps getting longer This journey started out with good intentions I never thought my life would come undone No one ever took the time to mention Trouble always finds you, trouble always finds you when you run So keep the river on your right, and keep walking Never let them look you in the eye Keep the river on your right, and keep walking Never ever let them see you cry Even on the high road The devil's at your back Anyone will tell you, tell you that the Journey always starts with good intentions You never think your life will come undone Everybody's looking for redemption There're many rules to live by, me I'm only thinking of this one Keep the river on your right, and keep walking Never let them look you in the eye Keep the river on your right, and keep walking Never ever let them see you cry
