Walking

"LET ME WALK AWAY"

Verse 1

I know you see it in my eyes,

I ain't been sleeping right,

Been staring at the ceiling

Every lonely night.

You keep asking what's wrong,

Like I don't know what to say,

Truth is, I'm scared to tell you

That I'm already halfway away.

And I still love you,

That's the hardest part,

Sometimes loving somebody

Means knowing when to part.

⸻

CHORUS

So let me walk away,

Before we turn to strangers,

Before all of our memories

Start feeling like they're dangerous.

Don't tell me that you'll change,

Don't ask me to stay,

Just hold me for a moment

Then let me walk away.

Let me walk away...

⸻

Verse 2

I remember when your laughter

Used to brighten up the room,

Now we sit across from each other

Like we're waiting on the news.

We got pictures on the wall

Of a life we couldn't keep,

And I still hear your voice

When I'm trying to fall asleep.

Maybe we were right people

At the wrong time in our lives,

Maybe some things can be beautiful

And still not survive.

⸻

CHORUS

So let me walk away,

Before we turn to strangers,

Before all of our memories

Start feeling like they're dangerous.

Don't tell me that you'll change,

Don't ask me to stay,

Just hold me for a moment

Then let me walk away.

⸻

BRIDGE

If you ever think about me,

Don't remember how it ended.

Remember all the mornings

When we thought this love was endless.

And if somebody asks you

Why I couldn't make it stay,

Tell them I loved you enough

To finally walk away.

⸻

FINAL CHORUS

So let me walk away,

With your name still on my lips,

With every little memory

That I couldn't let you keep.

I won't say I don't love you,

I won't lie and say I'm okay...

I just know that if I stay here,

We'll both lose ourselves someday.

So let me...

Walk away.

OUTRO — WHISPERED

I hope you find somebody

Who knows how to stay.

And I hope you forgive me...

For learning how to walk away.
