Week 13 - Walk Away (03​-​29​-​18)

from Song A Week, Volume 3 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Dry your eyes for a minute and sit back slow
I know exactly how you feel
He was just what you wanted where did he go
And how do you begin to heal

Maybe it’s confusing I know you’re tired of losing
You deserve the best my dear
Change is hard I know and you’ve been down so low and
The good news is it’s only up from here

When you fall apart and you can’t go on
And it seems like you can’t tell right from wrong
Take a real deep breath baby hold it in
You can close your eyes and then count to ten

When the tears keep coming like a storm at sea
And your heart’s so heavy it can’t break free
Give it one last look before the light of day
Let it go now baby you can walk away

It ain’t fair on you honey and that’s a fact
Love and luck ran out on you
Ask yourself for a second would you go back
Even now you know the truth

Maybe it’s confusing I know you’re tired of losing
You deserve the best my dear
Change is hard I know and you’ve been down so low and
The good news is it’s only up from here

You wear it like a billboard sign
That says somebody hurt me
I gave it everything I got
But they showed me no mercy

It isn’t gonna’ stay this way
Believe me if you can
All you gotta’ do today
Is just trust that there’s a plan
