lyrics

e a
i don't see any point in claiming
b e
words of another dude's song
a b c#m
unless they mean everything to me
b a
or nothing else that's going on
and i don't ever think i'll bother
walking another man's path
unless he got where i'm going
and nobody did from where we are

f#m b
nobody did it like me
g# c#m
nobody ever did like me

chorus
e b f#m a
I don't journey
I've never been anywhere before
I can't travel
I don't know where I'd go
No one’s priority
Why should I walk around alone
They think I’m missing out
f#m a
But i'm okay by myself you know

there's no poem, I know no lyrics
that put it quite how i see
and no author or journalist
appears to have the angle I need
and the everyday nobody’s look at me
like I’m the damn freak
no b.s. psychic even knows what i mean
still they figure their lies and speak

nobody did it like me
nobody ever did like me

I don't journey
I've never been anywhere before
I can't travel
I don't know where I'd go
No one’s priority
Why should I walk around alone
I think I’m missing out
But i'm okay by myself you know

g# c#m
And I love you but you don't like it
a b
You don't like what i do
g# c#m
And i love her but she doesn't want it
a f#m
She mustn't like that i'm not like you
e b f#m
Or anybody else
e b f#m
And she's gonna get me killed

I don't journey
I've never been anywhere before
I can't travel
I don't know where I'd go
I'm no priority
Why should I walk around alone
They think I’m missing out
But i'm okay by myself
I don't journey
I've never been anywhere before
I can't travel
I don't know where I'd go
No one's priority
Why should I walk around alone
They think I’m missing out
But i'm okay by myself you know
