Walkin Away

Verse 1

I used to think love meant hangin’ on,

Even when holdin’ on felt wrong.

Made excuses for the things you’d do,

Called it patience, called it loving you.

I got real good at second chances,

You got real good at wasting mine.

Funny how you never saw me leaving

Till my taillights hit that county line.

Pre-Chorus

You can say I gave up too soon,

But we both know that ain’t the truth.

Chorus

I’m walkin’ away,

And I ain’t walkin’ back.

You had a good thing, baby,

You just didn’t treat it like that.

I spent too many nights

Waitin’ on you to change.

Now the only thing I’m waitin’ on

Is you fading from my rearview frame.

You can call it goodbye,

I call it finally finding my way.

Sometimes the strongest thing a heart can do

Is walk away.

Verse 2

I packed light, just what was mine,

Left your promises there behind.

Took the picture off the dashboard,

Let the wind blow through that open door.

There ain’t another man I’m running to,

Ain’t some revenge I need to prove.

For the first time in a long time,

I’m doing something just for me to do.

Pre-Chorus

You can tell your friends I broke your heart,

Just leave out the part where you broke mine first.

Chorus

I’m walkin’ away,

And I ain’t walkin’ back.

You had a good thing, baby,

You just didn’t treat it like that.

I spent too many nights

Waitin’ on you to change.

Now the only thing I’m waitin’ on

Is you fading from my rearview frame.

You can call it goodbye,

I call it finally finding my way.

Sometimes the strongest thing a heart can do

Is walk away.

Bridge

Maybe someday you’ll figure out

What you had when I was around.

Maybe losing me will teach you

What loving me never could.

But that ain’t mine to worry about,

I’ve done all the hurting I should.

Final Chorus

So I’m walkin’ away,

And I ain’t looking back.

Yeah, I was a good thing, baby—

Now I finally know that.

I spent too many years

Thinking someday you would change.

Turns out the one who needed changing

Was the girl who always stayed.

So you can call it goodbye,

I call it finally finding my way.

Sometimes the strongest thing a heart can do,

Sometimes the hardest thing you’ll ever choose,

Sometimes loving yourself means…

Walkin’ away.

Outro

Yeah, I loved you enough to stay…

Now I love me enough

To walk away.
