"I'm Walking Away"

All of my memories of my younger years
Are tinged with a bittersweet sorrow
I have realized painful fears
For us now, there is no tommorrow

There was a time when we could've turned back
And I tried to reach out to you
Now it's too late and your fatal attack
Revealed truth that was hidden from view

It's easier now, and I'm okay
Your actions have spoken, I'm walking away

For many years I tried my best
Just to be close to you
You made me feel like it was a test
You wouldn't believe I was true

Some of my heart I'll leave behind
You're out of my life but still in my mind
Still I'm walking away and I'm leaving today
I'm sorry for us, but I'm going my way

It's easier now, and I'm okay
I've made my decision, I'm walking away

You lost someone who was your friend
You lost someone who didn't pretend
You lost someone cuz you wouldn't bend
You just threw it all away in the end

We were taught when we were small
That sometimes love brings fear
We were afraid we'd lose it all
But never thought we'd end up here

It's easier now, and I'm okay
I've made my decision, I'm walking away

I'm going my way feeling sorry for you
I'm going away and this time I'm through
I'm going away with the love that I feel
I'm going my and I know what's real
You can continue to think that I lied
You'll never know all the love you denied
You can continue to think it's your gain
I'm walking away and I'm leaving the pain

And it's easier now, I'm okay
I made my decision, I'm walking away
I made my decision, I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking
Away..............
