There is a highway

That I must walk alone on

A highway

With no way back to what I left behind

There is no way back

No way to go back

So I must continue on

Down this cold and heartless path

Unable to escape

Unable to turn back

This isn't the path I chose

This isn't my destiny

Silence is all about me now

Death and desolation on both sides of this highway

All caused by me

There is nobody

Nobody to bring me back

Where are my friends?

Jean, Scott, Kurt, Logan…

Where is the one who loved me for myself?

Remy…

Did they all leave me

To travel here all alone?

Or was it I?

Was I the one who left them?

I don't know

I may never know now

But there are other people

Other friends now

They try to catch up with me but

Will I pass them by too?

Is this my destiny?

Is this what I must do?

I don't want to

I don't want to leave them

But I don't know if I can trust them

There is a highway

That I must walk alone on

A highway

With no way back to what I left behind…

A highway which I can never escape…
