I couldn't walk away,
When everything about you screamed stay.
You had this look in your eye
like you finally realized
what I was all about. or was it too late.
I was through holding on
Laying in your arms but forever alone.
Thinking I love you but I love me more
Gotta move on to find out what else...who else...is in store.
I couldn't walk away
That look in your eyes begged stay.
I held on to your embrace
So few and far between they were my saving grace.
I couldn't break the bond of loves sweet chains
Enthralled by just the sound of your name.
I had to move,
Find a place I could nurse my open wounds.
But I couldn't walk away
Something about your touch screamed stay.
The reflection of the love in my eyes shown in yours
As I see this the tears start to pour.
I have carried the load for us both far too long.
I could see that you loved me but I was wrong.
How could I have given every piece of me to such bitter misery
Openly handing myself over to agony.
This was a one sided chance at love and I gave it my best,
This to me was better than the rest.
I just couldn't walk away
As I watched you leave
Everything in me screamed at you to stay.
