Walk Away With Dignity

You’ll never know what this has done to my heart.
It feels broken into so many parts.
My heart is shattered.
Walking away hasn’t been easy for me,
But my soul needed peace.
I was tired of guessing and questioning.

I love you, but I’ve got to choose me.
love in and of itself won’t make someone happy, 
Baby, I matter too. 
If I have to choose between two different hells, 
Staying where I’m not happy,
Or betraying myself.
I choose to walk away, 
I’ll walk away with dignity.

I could wait around till you feel ready,
But I’d be waiting with no guarantee,
 That in the end you’d choose me. 
I’d be broken whether I stay or go, 
At least if I leave I’ll have some control,
Of how long it takes me to heal and feel whole again. 

I love you, but I’ve got to choose me.
love in and of itself won’t make someone happy, 
Baby, I matter too. 
If I have to choose between two different hells, 
Staying where I’m not happy,
Or betraying myself.
I choose to walk away,
I’ll walk away with dignity.
