Stepping Away

Stepping Away

What did you expect from me?
What did you want from me?
You knew you hurt me deep inside.
So don’t claim surprise.
Every step I take away from you.
Is a step further from the pain.
Further from the pain.
The pain that brought me to my knees.
Kept me down for weeks with tear filed eyes.
A heart broken in two by you.
So I walk away today.
Every step further away.
Every step the distance grows between the pain and me.
Soon it will be gone and I can smile again.
See the sun rise and replace the gray skies.
The very gray skies you brought into my life.

So don’t expect from me what you don’t deserve.
I can’t give you anymore what you aren’t willing to give me.
Time to walk away.
Time to call it a day.
Search for the cure to my ills.
Search for the heart that matches mine.
Watch me walk if you want too.
But let me walk cause I need too.

Step after step right away from you.
Away from the pain and the rain.
Headed for a better day where the sun will rise again.
Walking away from the pain.
The pain from you.


Every step I take I breathe a little easier.
Every step I take I hurt a little less too.
Gonna keep on stepping away from you.
Every step away is another step from heartbreak.
I won’t be looking back for you.
Stepping away.
