Along the beaten track

What a fool I've been
To fall for one so mean.
I thought he loved me
But he only hates me.
For way too long I've loved him
When maybe I should have found a shim.
It's my own fault you know
To trust him like I do.
He's just another to betray me
I'd rather be single and free.
Life is full of ups and downs
Sadness, smiles and frowns.
Happiness tinged by sorrow
Maybe it'll be better tomorrow.
I'd rather be on my own
Living without my phone.
Words are hurtful I know
I just want to go slow.
Long ago I prayed for love
Now it's come to push and shove.
Onwards I'll go without looking back
Onwards along the beaten track.
Searching for true happiness and freedom.
