YOU WALKED AWAY

When the sun went down I drove across town

With crazy thoughts in my head

You don’t know how close you came

Last night to being dead

I stood outside your home crazed and all alone

You’d be scared of what was on my mind

My intentions real, I could no longer feel

You bled my heart until it finally died

You just can’t be cruel, treat me like a fool

And expect to get away scot-free

You’d better watch your back , cut me no slack

You've created your worst enemy

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Sometimes I feel like I’m losing my mind

And there’s nothing I can do

My body, my soul ,they’re crying for help

Why can’t you see how much I needed you

You told me not to cry, when all I wanted was held

Told everything would be okay

Instead of taking me into loving arms

You turned and walked away

You walked away…

~~*~~

Well you don’t walk away from a woman burned

It’s not a safe thing to do

When the fire that will send my soul to hell

Began with me loving you

And where you went I’ll never know

A stranger took your place

With a heart of stone, and eyes just as cold

In my lover's face

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

I bowed my head down low, fell to my knees

And I prayed for God to intervene

Help me not to kill this heartless man

Who used to mean the world to me

I felt a calming warmth, like a gentle hug

He brought his answer on the wind

Promising revenge of the sweetest kind

You'll get exactly what you give

~~*~~

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

Someday you’ll feel like you’re losing your mind

When there's nothing you can do

Your body, your soul, will be crying for help

She won’t want a thing to do with you

She’ll tell you not to cry

When all you’ll want’s to be held

Told everything will be okay

Instead of taking you into loving arms

She’ll turn and walk away

She’ll walk away…
