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
