I turn to walk away from you
And I fall into your arms
Disqualified for Undignified
Response to your illicit charm.
When I make my getaway
Safe out of your reach
It's your eyes that haunt me
And the memories that beseech
Meant to bear the brunt
Of the loss I'll throw away
I'll turn and run through open arms
Even though I want to stay
A tide will take me down below
Farther from your grasp
My memory pleads forgotten then
Leave it like the past.
Because I know in my heart
That part of yours hides there
But hiding is all it will do
As it teaches me not to care.
Forgetting being in your arms
Like a drum to it's beat
Like the comfort of angels
Like unaccomplished defeat
An intrusion will follow
I will fall from your hold
Don�t pick up the pieces
Of the puzzle so old..
Risk takers and brave facers
They scoff at my facer's
For they know that I've won
A treasure I cannot keep
A broken promise shatters still
The resounding echo lies
A whispered plea, an apology
Sheltered behind those eyes
Still I will run away from shivers
Evoked with a touch or glance
And still I'll be gone
Away from the wrong
That will stem from one tired demand
Do not follow me
for we part insecure
And to see you struggling so
Would seem disheartingly impure
The empty indishearteningly calling your name
The mind holding my heart is tired of sane
A tear from your soul
Reveals the depth of your pain
As I'm walking away
With everything to gain
And everything lost
With no reason to be found
Now I think I'll keep walking
And forget turning around.
