Walk Away

Hard to learn a lesson before it's too late
It's hard enough trying to lessen the pain of living day to day
Nobody knows you quite like I know you
But you don't owe me a thing
But you're not taking back words that cut like a knife
Do you know what they mean?
That I walk away
There's nothing left to do after all you said
Sometimes you have to walk away
Striking matches to the photographs that you've taken won't kill the pain
When I walk away
I'm walking on
And one day I'll hear you in the wind
And you'll be honest to me then
It's not easy going not easy going with a broken back
From the last straw, the first time, another second chance
Nobody knows me quite like you know me
But I don't owe you a thing
But I'm not turning back the damage is done
Do you know what it means?
That I walk away
There's nothing left to do after all you've said
Sometimes you have to walk away
Memories that keep rolling over in their graves may never fade
When I walk away
I'm walking on
And one day you'll see me in the sun
And I'll be honest to myself
