When I need space, that's where I go
A place to escape that nobody knows
Where I feel free to let things go
And face this evil that burdens my soul

I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
All the emotions I cannot explain
It's where I found God and filled that hole
It's He, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road

When I'm in pain or when I suffer a loss
When I need to cry or pray
This is where I go
I leave it all on this empty road

I have peace of mind when I am here
My soul is calm when I am here
This is where I go
Just me and the Holy Ghost

When I need space, that's where I go
A place to escape that nobody knows
Where I feel free to let things go
And face this evil that burdens my soul

I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
All the emotions I cannot explain
It's where I found God and filled that hole
It's He, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road

Not many words to explain this
My heart is broken, it's aching
I try to be your Superman
But I'm afraid that I'm the one who needs saving

When my back is against the wall, it's the only place I can go
It's like a second home
I'd rather be alone
It's the only way to cope
But once the pain is over
I hear knock, knock, knock, knock

Oh, it's just reality
Oops, there goes gravity
If I let my guard down, then the whole world's gon' fall on me
The only place that gives me hope
Is that lonely dirt road

When I need space, that's where I go
A place to escape that nobody knows
Where I feel free to let things go
And face this evil that burdens my soul

I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
All the emotions I cannot explain
It's where I found God and filled that hole
It's He, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road

I know you need time alone
You work yourself down to the bone
So decompress, catch your breath
Then find your way back home

'Cause oh, there's something you should know
You got so used to doing things on your own
But I am here to share the load
I'll take your dirt and pave it into roads of gold

When I need space, that's where I go
A place to escape that nobody knows
Where I feel free to let things go
And face this evil that burdens my soul

I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
All the emotions I cannot explain
It's where I found God and filled that hole
It's He, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road

Yeah, I talk to myself when I'm broken
Like shedding a tear in the dark
Nobody hears my confessions of loneliness
Echoing off of the walls in my car
It's a forming addiction, acting so fictionally
Trying to convince them I'm one with the stars
But it's molding a faulty perception of happiness
That has been vacant inside of my heart
I've been falling apart (part, part)
I've been stuck on this road
With no sense of serenity, mentally
I carry loads of my baggage, they question me
Ask if I'm fine, but my tendencies
Murdered the truth (murdered the truth)
This loneliness got me distressed, and I fear
That eventually I'll be so stuck in my lies
That it'll be me in that rearview mirror

When I need space, that's where I go
A place to escape that nobody knows
Where I feel free to let things go
And face this evil that burdens my soul

I bring my hatred, I pack my pain
All the emotions I cannot explain
It's where I found God and filled that hole
It's He, myself, and I on that lonely dirt road
