She Walked Away
Echoes of a Broken Journey: She Walked Away
Lyrics
She walked away from him
She chose to end the relationship with him.
A few years ago
This separation occurred a few years in the past.
He thinks about her every now and then
He reminisces about her occasionally.
And how she let him go
Reflecting on how she ended their connection.
Yeah she walked away never to look back
She left without turning back.
Except for maybe one glance or two
Perhaps a brief look back, but not dwelling on the past.
From the only man they say to tame a heart like that
He was the only one able to capture her heart.
Until her heart caught wind and how those winds blew
Her emotions changed abruptly like a gust of wind.
An only child in a border town
She grew up as the only child in a town near the border.
Is what she knew as home
Her known world was her hometown.
Her daddy beat her momma 'til she shot him down
Her mother defended herself by shooting her abusive father.
Then what she knew was gone
Her familiar life disappeared after the incident.
And she walked away never to look back
She left without looking back.
Except for maybe one glance or two
Occasional glances back, but not dwelling on the past.
She kept folks at bay but if one were to ask
Kept people at a distance, responding to inquiries with laughter.
How she was she'd just simply laugh at you
Her demeanor hid her true feelings.
She started life out broken and learned that life was mean
Her early life was filled with hardships, and she learned that life is harsh.
And life never taught her much else
Life did not provide her with many lessons.
She'd all but lost the notion of what it means to dream
Lost the ability to dream and believed her heart would remain solitary.
And thought a heart like hers would spend life by itself
Resigned to a lonely existence due to her damaged heart.
You're a victim of happenstance
Life's circumstances can make one a victim.
When things go all wrong
Challenges arise when everything goes wrong.
But when you're never given half a chance
Without opportunities, it's challenging to cope.
It's hard to get along
Struggling to adapt when not given a fair chance.
So she walked away never to look back
She moved on without any backward glances.
Not for even one glance or two
No reminiscing, completely moving forward.
She grew up a stray and went out as that
Grew up as an outsider and remained one.
Just another case as to what life can do
Became another example of the hardships life can impose.
Yeah she walked away never to look back
Left without lingering in the past.
Not for even one glance or two
Not a single look back, no attachment to the past.
There ain't much to say now if one were to ask
There's little to say if asked about her now.
There sure ain't much now that you could do
Not much can be done to change her current situation.
