Walking Away

What do you see in flashes of light

When you open your eyes and the world is too bright?

Creatures from fantasy, or failures and flattering

Memories, altered to paint you the heroine

Through the looking glass,

Keep an eye on your past

And keep moving forwards without turning back

But truth is distorted through mirrors and glasses

And I'm in your blindspot

Awaiting a glance

Since that night of soap opera romance

I can't share a single bed with

Anybody else

And I wonder if you think about

Just giving me a call and saying,

"Hey, remember me?

Remember anything at all?"

'Cause I try

To live like there's living to do

But I'm waiting for an answer

And you're silent and too far away

Tell me why

I'm sitting here waiting for you

I've been sitting so long

I've forgotten the reasons you gave

When you walked away

Take a minute to open your eyes

While the bright lights have faded, and stars fill the sky

Look past the mirror, it's clouding your judgement

A constant obstruction that hides the horizon

You're much better off

Looking back once in a while

Than fixing your eyes on the future

'Cause every mistake is a lesson worth learning

So I'll be your teacher

If you'll take me back

All the prayers and the hope cannot save me

I'm holding on tight, but you're letting me go

So I'm trying to remember when

You told me what love means

And that sometimes it's applicable

To what you feel for me

And I try

To live like there's living to do

But I'm waiting for an answer

And you're silent and too far away

Tell me why

I'm sitting here waiting for you

I've been sitting so long

I've forgotten the reasons you gave

When you walked away

Still I try

To live like there's living to do

But I'm waiting for an answer

And you're silent and too far away

Don't know why

I'm sitting here waiting for you

I've been waiting too long

I just wish you'd turn round so you'd see

I'm walking away
