These are streets I used to know
I've walked down this beaten path, this icy road
But I'm on my own now
I'm walking alone where you once held my hand
And I can't understand
How the people and places I know seem so alien now
This isn't home anymore
I've burned those bridges, closed that door
Only a shadow remains, not a trace of the life I let go
On these streets I have known
And I will sail a different course
I'll venture through uncharted waters and gather my thoughts
And maybe I'll stumble upon somewhere new as I wander along
Where I can belong
And I'll turn my back on these unwelcome streets after all
This isn't home anymore
I've burned those bridges, closed that door
Only a shadow remains, not a trace of the life I let go
On these streets I have known
And I can't walk these familiar streets anymore
I can't walk these familiar streets anymore
I can't walk these familiar streets anymore
Oh, I can't walk these familiar streets anymore
And I had a friend who looked just like you
But we haven't spoken in so long, and I think we're through
This isn't home anymore
I've burned those bridges, closed that door
Only a shadow remains, not a trace of the life I let go
This isn't home anymore
I've burned those bridges, closed that door
Only a shadow remains, not a trace of the life I let go
On these streets I have known
