I am heading down a road

Ever since you have been gone
I feel the disappointment inside
It cuts me like a knife to the bone
I cannot rise up above it anymore
It will just not leave me alone
This road is a very desolate long one
And I know that one day it must end
When the pain and sorrow overwhelm me
I will crash, and I will burn to a singe
