I'm on my way to the
Other side of somewhere
Where the road won't lead to bad.
How could I forget you
You were my friend
You were my lover
The best I ever had...

You took one turn too many
Lost us on your way
Why did you desert us
All the love that we once knew
You took one turn too many
Then there was
No you.

You took one turn too many
Our dreams went up in smoke
You chose a dead end road
Tell me how will I go on
The world was your oyster
You had the pearls inside your hands
You threw them out the window
As you took one turn too many
And reached a dead end road...

So I 'm on my way to the
Other side of somewhere
Where the road won't lead to bad
Won't let myself forget you
You were my friend
You were my lover
The best I ever had...

You took one turn too many
For me to ever see my way back
That one turn too many
To ever see my way through
So I''m on my way to
The other side of somewhere
There's no looking back
I'll never cross that road
To nowhere again...

'Cause I am on my way to
The other side of somewhere
To start completely new
I'll try to find some goodness
When I think of you
On my way
To the other side of somewhere
Taking one turn of my own...

A turn that leads to
Somewhere without you
That road to the
Other Side of Somewhere
'Cause you took
One turn too many
So I'm on the road to the
Other Side of Somewhere
Alone.
