Everyone could see the end looming on the horizon but I couldn't see it

You were leading me on to a fall but I didn't believe it

Yeah they saw the signs, saw the writing on the wall but I couldn't read it
And when the blow came I tried to pretend that I didn't receive it

Chorus:

And it's been a long, hard ride to nowhere
Now I've got to wonder where I've been
I always believed we were getting somewhere
But nowhere's where I am


Now you're telling me you know life is full of surprises, like I haven't heard yet
Man you taught me a lesson I'm wishin' I hadn't learned yet
'Cause you're a regular Moses and I followed, completely converted
Now my soul feels as hollow and empty as the arms you deserted

Chorus

Bridge:

And I'm not anywhere near where I thought I was going to be
Time will tell if I handle it well, but now it's left up to me

Last chorus:
And it's been a long, hard ride to nowhere
Now I've got to wonder where I've been
I always believed this was going somewhere
But nowhere's where it ends
