Walking Away

Intro:

I'm gonna go ahead and wager that you'll never listen to another song of mine.

I can't say I blame you, either, cause if you made records, you ain't going to catch me listening to that shit.

But if you do, I just want you to know I didn't make this to hurt you, god knows you done hurt enough.

Just… I don't know, trying to make some real shit, you know.

Bye

You ain't never going to see me again if I can help it

Little felon take it easy

Fresh out of forced tears, kisses, and hugs

You about to lose the company your misery loves

Ain't never did nothing but try to cure your disease

At least help the symptoms, 'stead you infected me

I'm not the kind of man to draw a line in the sand

If you've got to draw at all then it's time for you to scram

P.S. you can keep all this shit

And hang around your broke friends and call yourself rich

Struggling I did with you was all for nothing

It was never enough, your heart set on suffering

I admit that I was weak in the beginning

I wanted someone to need me instead of a friendship

I didn't think I deserved a true partner

So I transferred the arrangement I had with my momma

Since you never listened to a word I ever said

Maybe seeing this door slam will get it through you head

I don't love you; I don't think I ever did

And if you hadn't tried to kill me, I'd have stayed for the kid

(x2)

There's nothing more for us to say

Got my mind made up, I'm walking away

Sometimes we just outgrow the role that we play

Hope you find a happy ending to your story someday

Round and round and round we used to go

I never fucked you right or made enough bread, I know

If I'm such a bastard and mistreated you so

Then how is it you're losing your mind to see me go?

Truth be told, I held you together

For all them years and I cheated on you never

Defended your honor, took in your momma

When she tried to rehab and had your back through the drama

You've got a sick stone under your ribs

Where a heart is supposed to live

Sick twisted and vindictive with your windows dim

Baby in that wicked hardboiled fist you must shiver

How you threaten to kill the most precious

Gift that you'll ever be blessed with

Unless you're twisted, demented, and depressed as shit

and alone 'cause you faithfully slayed your friendships

Since you never listened to a word I ever said

Maybe seeing this door slam will get it through your head

You don't love me; I don't think you ever did

And if you hadn't tried to kill me I'd have stayed for the kid

(x2)

There's nothing more for us to say

Got my mind made up, I'm walking away

Sometimes we just outgrow the role that we play

Hope you find a happy ending to your story someday
