TO WALK AWAY

I have hold on to us for far too long
Believed in us even when it was wrong
Played your voice in my head like a song
But now I need to walk away from you and be strong

Eight years you and I were
The past three years were nothing but a blur
I believed in you but the image wasn't real
For behind that man was a sharp edged teal

You hacked my chest wide open
The solid foundation we thought we had was broken
All the goodness and sweetness can now be forgotten
In the midst of sorrow I feel so rotten

It has consumed my strength to get this courage
To break this wall, to break free from my cage
A love is love, but so is hurt is hurt
To be strong is to be strong, to choose to not hurt anymore

So I release you in the wind, to be blown away from me
In the sea where the shore takes you away from me
A moth I once was lured by your flame
But I must be strong to turn back from shame

Goodbye first love, you truly were my first
At times I shall miss you, my heart will yearn
But now I am 29, I need to be my age
Without a man shall I be, but I am the real me.
