[Pre-Intro]
Walk away (away)
Walk away (walk away)
[Verse]
I had to walk away
Walk away from the pain
The mental drain
Leveling that plain, seemed to make perfect sense
I was struggling to say goodbye
Giving hints...
So desperate to make it work
Making it worse...
Believing in us, we fell short
[Chorus]
I had to walk away (walk away)
I couldn't stay ( no I couldn't stay)
I had to walk away
Walk away
[Verse]
Walking away losing pieces of myself
Put that on the shelf (won't help)
Parts of us that I held dear
Walking away comes with moments of fear,
I couldn't stay
We prayed
Didn't last
We tried to make it last forever
But forever was never for us....
[Chorus]
I had to walk away (walk away)
I couldn't stay (not forever)
I couldn't stay (couldn't stay)
I had to walk away (walk away)
[Bridge]
Many times the only connection is history
But our story couldn't sustain us
So much pain
Too much misery
Lies and deceit
Left our hearts incomplete
Love took a detour
And cried no more (no more) no more
No more holding on to what will never be (couldn't be)
(Be)Cause it Never Was
Walk away I had to walk away
[Outro]
Walking away for the last time (whispers) (fade out)
