Walk Away - Jon McLaughlin

We’re not going forward

And we’re not going back

The only thing before us is

Exactly where we’re at

What should be left unspoken

Already left our mouths

And hatchets never buried

Are just lying around

Like an atheist all dressed up

In his sunday best

We’re going through the motions

So emotionless

We thought that time would save us

But time just lead us on

To finally become

What we were all along

So if you want to leave you can go

I know I can’t stop you anymore

There’s too much left to say

So I’ll watch you walk away

For some it’s still a mystery

For some it’s just bad luck

But we’re not making history

We’re just giving up

And we can gather our belongings

And divide them all in half

But so much that was given

Cannot be taken back

But if you want to leave you can go

I know I can’t stop you anymore

There’s too much left to say

So I’ll watch you walk away

If you want to leave I understand

And I’ve run out of reasons and demands

There’s nothing left to say

As I watch you walk away
