Walk Away

It's the feeling when waking at 3am
Thinking of you and me back when
Our words would last right into the night
When you'd go to bed in the morning light
Back when things were easy and clear
I was never going to lose you, my dear
I thought our future was bright and bold
I never listened to what I was told
I saw the signs and the complications
The misused words and the same frustrations
I pushed them all away from my mind
Trying to believe that all was fine
Now all you seem to do is leave
It's becoming harder for me to breathe
This connection is crumbling in my hand
Slipping through my fingers like grains of sand
And it hurts when you're here and it hurts when you're gone
And the minutes get shorter until there are none
It was never meant to feel this way
And it's getting harder every day
You tell me these words that I know you don't mean
How could I ever believe in this dream?
You have no idea how much this is hurting
Whenever I'm sleeping or crying or working
You'll be somewhere doing whatever you love
While I will be telling myself to give up
I send you these messages all of the time
You never send me one back or even reply
And maybe you think I'm strong and unbroken
While I'm still insecure and wishing and hoping
Because I'm giving you everything that I have
Yet it feels like you're giving me nothing back
For hours and hours I'm waiting for you
And thinking of us is all that I do
And I wonder if I even cross your mind
When you're doing something else all of the time
I'm a substitute girl until you find someone else
Who can please you and be there and make your heart melt

And that's how I knew we were already ending
Long before your answer was pending
So go find your princess and know I'll be fine
All I'll need is a little time
