The day i walked away stays in my mind
remembering the time it took and courage to find
leaving behind the life i was accustomed to
believing that what i needed was something new
for the way we became together tore our souls
fractured our mind and riddled our heart with holes
because you bled me dry in every way
picked at my being till all it did was fray
giving me false hopes day and night
blackening my soul to blind my sight
refusing to believe that we become better people
thinking you was better off inside your steeple
how i tried to tell you the life you led was in vain
all you ever wanted to do was cause me so much pain
until finally it dawned on you the reasons behind
the decision i made which turned out to be kind
the best way to not hurt each other
and not to make ourselves smother
was to turn my back and walk away
because it was not in my control to stay
