Walk Away

(album: Dying Lately - 2021)

I grind my teeth, it hurts to speak about things I've kept to myself
Try to put it all behind me, I don't wanna fight I'll find repose
I've held my head down way too low 'cause that's all I've know and you wonder why
I don't know how to say it, but I'm gonna try my best, here it goes

So how can I be fine when everything is crashing?
Why do you cross my mind when fire burns around me?
I'm forced to walk your line, I should've walked away
'Cause maybe then you'd see the damage that you did to me

I made it out alive, my life was awfully hazy
It broke me down, I talk it out, I'm not ready to face it
So I'll just bottle it
Put another one down, and ball your fist
I feel fear when you stumble in
I know that look and pain that comes with it
I'm holding on, I swear to God
These memories won't make me
I can't forgive and I won't forget
'Cause these scars are permanent

So how can I be fine when everything is crashing?
Why do you cross my mind when fire burns around me?
I'm forced to walk your line, I should've walked away
'Cause maybe then you'd see the damage that you did to me

I wish that things could be different
In a perfect world, I don't hold a grudge
And we find the love that you wasted
I try to sleep, but it bothers me
And I'm left to weep, I feel empty
What's done is done, so I'll spare my lungs
I won't let it bring me down
I wish you'd right your wrong with that pride you hold way down in your dark soul
I'm waiting for the guilt to die 'cause I never got a chance to say goodbye

So how can I be fine when everything is crashing?
Why do you cross my mind when fire burns around
Me

So how can I be fine when everything is crashing?
Why do you cross my mind when fire burns around me?
I'm forced to walk your line, I should've walked away
'Cause maybe then you'd see the damage that you did to me
