every travelled road Lyrics

with every sweet hello
there's a bitter good bye
with every happy song
there's the one to make you cry
with every traveled road
there's a curse that wont die
I know you're not the only one
You're the only one with a knife

CHORUS
Still you sing "here's one
here's one for the valley
here's one for your family"
there's never one for me
Still you sing "here's one
here's one for the tree
where your heart is buried"
there's never one for me
there's never one for me

The longing the alone
with a fall from a height
and now you've come and gone
must the whole of europe die
we know that you inherit light
but for who does it shine
oh 'cause now I've lost the right
to consider you mine

CHORUS
Still you sing "here's one
here's one for the valley
here's one for your family"
there's never one for me
and here I'm left to sing
oh you kissed so damn easy
did you show it just to tease me
the sweetest treachery
there's never one for me
there's never one for me

Cover art for every travelled road lyrics by Scott Matthew

The song is about the loss of a loved one. It is not death but the loss of his presence. "with every sweet hello there's a bitter good bye with every happy song there's the one to make you cry"

With every beginning of a relationship there's the end. Where was hapinness now is sorrow.

"I know you're not the only one You're the only one with a knife"

The bottom line is, insults only hurt when they come from someone I respect. ~ Kresley cole. And that's te meaning of that line. The ones he loves are the only ones that can hurt him and that's why s/he's the only one with a knige

"The longing the alone with a fall from a height"

The loss makes him want to go from the top of his feelings to being alone.

"we know that you inherit light but for who does it shine"

S/he has the ability to make him happy but if not for him, whom does S/he.

"oh 'cause now I've lost the right to consider you mine"

Loss of his presence. end of relationship/friendship.

And here's the best part that makes us believe it could be a GF or a young friend:

"oh you kissed so damn easy did you show it just to tease me the sweetest treachery "

This is my interpretation, I could say it was a gf but i'd be mistaken I think Scott wanted it to be vague so it can apply for any loss.
