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
